HISTORY OF GREENE COUNTY
Capt. Rogers waded swamps and swam streams before reach- ing the Union lines, yet his perilous adventure was envied by those who planned and carried out the scheme.
NOTE .- Thus ends the first volume of my History of Greene County. In gathering up so many incidents from so many different sources, it could not be expected that this book could be compiled entirely free from error. To the second volume will be an appendix in reference to erratas. The sec- ond volume will commence with a continuation of the county's military history and such other remin.seenses as I can gather from reliable sources.
