March 4, 1864---The Taste of Crow



MARCH 4, 1864:        

The Nashville Daily Union rather whimsically reports that:

“A number of rebels come to Nashville daily and take the oath of amnesty. Some of them take it with 'wry faces.' The fact is, they are like the fellow that, on a wager, eats the crow. They can 'eat crow’; but d____d if they have a hankering for it!”
