    3. I saw a page on the Internet a couple years ago, where this man in Readyville had found a camp area for soldiers in the War Between the States or Civil War if you are up North here. He had found a lead bullet. It had been carved into a whistle. I think he had it for sale. Readyville must have been a Camp for both sides at that time. Kevin

    3. Probably belonged to one of the "Yanks" who came up through Readyville from Murfreesboro, to Woodbury, to round up the Rebel troublemakers. Or could have belonged to one of N.B. Forrest's boys, who came down from McMinnville, to comfort the crying ladies, then went on to Murfreesboro, to retrieve the Rebel prisoners. Jess
