    3. I would like to obtain the "History of the Thirteenth Regiment, Tennessee Volunteer Calvary, U.S.A." Where would be the best source? Also, as a descendant of Captain C.T. Honeycutt, I am interested in his role in the war. Is he mentioned in the book? Dorothy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Allen Ellis" > Daniel Ellis describes the November 1863 Limestone Cove Massacre (or Bell Massacre, or Witcher's Massacre, as it is sometimes called) on pages 329-335 of his Thrilling Adventures of Daniel Ellis. This is also recalled by Samuel W. Scott and Samuel P. Angel on pp. 338-340 of their History of the Thirteenth Regiment, Tennessee Volunteer Cavalry, U.S.A. > > Ellis describes further Limestone Cove violence in March, 1864 (pp. 348-349), naming Ely and John Fry as victims. Scott and Angel address this on their p. 361. > As a storyteller, do you have anything about Dan Ellis? >> Regards, > Allen > > Captain Daniel Ellis Web Site > > http://www.nku.edu/~ellisa/danielellis > ________________________________ > > From: G.
