and from there, he is sent to johnson island a prisoner of war depot at sandusky bay. he stays there for 19 months. 19 months that broke him down terribly. john porter was born in 1839, he'll die in 1844. the exposure to ice, snow, cold on lake erie and the privation probably broke him down to such a degree that he died young. and you see that a lot among prisoners of war. in all wars and but particularly in the civil war. there's another great story that porter speaks of. and this is a story that you don't find in any other memoir of any other man who rode with john hunt morgan, including really duke. he doesn't speak much of it. even though the history is is the definitive story. this involves the use by morgan of small elements of his command. now they are in tennessee in the winter of 1863. and it's a bad winter. and the armies are stationary. the union army and the cumberland is near murphy's bureau, and braggs army, confederate is in the islands. and morgan's command is protecting braggs right near minville, while he's doing that, morgan will detach elements of h

it turned out not to have andrew johnson on it, but rather an entire freight train filled with mules and it must have been 15 cars behind the locomotive with nothing but mules. and porter who leads the story. he says what we have to do, we couldn't take them ourselves, we couldn't let them loose. we couldn't let them go because the union forces would pick them up. what we did, he says we set fire to the entire train. and he talks about these mules with flames coming off of their years and their backs and he says the pity and he starts telling the story when he's writing this for his daughter now he starts saying in a memoir you know, we were reckless in the war one must be reckless. and he says i was always very sorry about that. but there was nothing else one could do. so he felt horrible about what he had to do, but that was war and then he relates how he gets into the cab of the locomotive. da silva the fire box filled with wood and got the engine as hot as it could go abroad this diem of and he says i truth of throttle forward and jumped out and he says that train took off, flami
