Description
Out of the Wilderness. - - When Colonel Burris returned to his Kansas quarters, from the Camden Point skirmish, he had a crowd of contrabands following his army. The Conservative says:
"A large number of recruits for the black legion were brought over, or rather, followed the command of Colonel Burris, as it returned to quarters. A portion of them, looking as though each had just been presented with a new watch, were enrolled and sent to camp below the city. Real plantation hands they were, and "mighty glad to get o' de wilderness."Date(s) of Creation
