Last time it was Captain B.H. Duvall; this time I'm looking for information on Captain R.C. Bozen, of Grayson County, VA (mentioned in Thrilling Adventures of Daniel Ellis, pages 336-340, 342-345, 347, 348, 350; also, History of the 13th Regiment Tennessee Volunteer Cavalry, U.S.A., 334, 341, 361). Bozen is even memorialized in song, credited by Ellis as being written by "a scouter": "Bozen's rogues prowl about in dark nights; Killing and stealing they call Southern rights; They rob our houses, they plunder and press, And frequently take a lady's fine dress, And it's hard times." (Thrilling Adventures 337), and "When Bozen and his men to the mountains did go; For pilots they pressed Harris Whaley and Joe; They killed Isaac Yonce, and threatened his wife, And whipped his little boy for carrying a knife, And it's hard times." (Thrilling Adventures 348) Has anyone ever heard such a song? Does anyone have any further information on Capt. Bozen? I also put this question to the Tennessee in the Civil War Message Board - no luck there. Allen W. Ellis Professor of Library Services W.
