A transcription of Col. William Clift's, Seventh Tennessee Infantry, report for the period 1 Jul through 31 Oct 1862.


This is an amazing story! A couple of weeks ago [Apr 2001], Fred Griffith of Helenwood walked into the Independent Herald office and handed an old faded photograph across the counter. He explained he was bringing the photo to be copied in response to an appeal made by the Scott County Historical Society for pictures of Scott County Civil War veterans. Griffith explained the man in the photo was Hamilton Griffith, the woman was his wife, Mary Helen Lowe Griffith, and the little girl was their daughter, Elzada. And, without taking a breath he pointed to the man and said, "That's my daddy, there."
