I have a book titled -Poems and Addresses- by Manlius T. Flippin published in 1892. I bought it because Flippin was the main speaker at several Union Soldiers reunions in Tompkinsville and Fountain Run in Monroe County, KY during the 1880s and his speeches were published in this book. In the book is - Address Of Welcome, Delivered At The Re-union Of The 9th Kentucky, Volunteers, Infantry, At Fountain Run, September 18, 1885. One paragraph on page 188: Soldiers of the Ninth, there are many memories of the long, weary marches, of lonely nights when the earth was your bed, and the sky your covering - memories of battle-scenes and tragedies, that are engraved on your minds above the tidemark of the Lethean wave. You will not, you cannot forget them. Perhaps some of you saw the gallant HAGAN fall at Adairville, or SHORT, or FULKS at Kennesaw Mountain. Possibly some of you saw PIPKIN or FAULKNER or WALKER or PITCOCK stricken down at Shiloh. There may be some comrade here today, who bore the dying of HOLLAND, STAR or MAYHEW from the hard-fought field of Pickett's Mills. Some of you may have seen DIXON or BUCHANNAN fall at Chickamauga. Perhaps some of you bore the dead or dying body of BRAY or TOOLEY or ENGLAND or BORDEN or JENKINS or MURPHY to the rear, when the lightning flashed and the thunder rolled over the awful field of Stone River. This website will give you more information about the above listed names: http://home.okstate.edu/homepages.nsf/toc/9th.htm Manlius T. Flippin is always listed as one of the most prominent Monroe Countians. He was born July 29, 1841 near the forks of Indian Creek in Monroe County, KY. He was a lawyer, a representative to the Kentucky House of General Assembly, Monroe County Judge, Surveyor of the County, published poems, and was an eloquent speaker. He is listed in the History Of Kentucky, 1886.
