Jack (John) Cade
One of the most successful scouts in the ranks of the Federal army in Western Virginia, in the summer of 1861, was Jack (John) Cade of Marion County, Ohio, a private in Company K of the Fourth Ohio Volunteer Infantry. Soon after the regiment arrived in that section, he began to develop qualities which attracted the attention first of Col. George Leonard Andrews, his regimental Commander, and finally of General George B. McClellan himself. The latter then issued orders that "Jack" should be allowed to pass through the Federal lines, day or night, whenever he wished. He used the privilege to good advantage several times, saving the Union troops from disastrous surprises. As a successful scout did he become so annoying and so well known to the rebels that Confederate Col. Henry Marshall Ashby Henry Marshall Ashby (1836 – July 10, 1868) was a Confederate States Army colonel during the American Civil War (Civil War). Although he commanded a brigade from June 1864 and a divi ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
