Hannibal was first made au exile,
□ot, as commonly supposed, through
Roman influence so much as from the
personal animosity cf his countrymen.
After tho defeat of Zama he turned his
attention to the political affairs of Car
thage and inaugurated a system of re
form, which ho carried out so rigorously
that ho 6oon found himself intensely
bated by a large factiou of the Car
thaginians. Behind him was the lion-
aety of the country, however, and find
ing he could not be swerved from his
purpose the rogues in office attempted
to assassinate him. Finding that bis
death had been determined on, Hannibal
left Carthago, went to Tyre and thence
to the dominions of Antiochus, whom
be soon enlisted in war with Roma
The war proved a failure, and Antiochus
was ordered to surrender Hannibal, who
got news of tho demand and made his
escape.
Roman hatred followed him to Bithy-
nia, and finding himself on the point of
being given up he died from poison.
The story that ho once had a meeting
at Ephesus with bis old enemy, Scipio
Africanus, is told on fairly good au
thority.
James Collins was at this time about
24, with dark, well formed features,
the courage of a tiger and the endur
ance of a dozen horses. He decided to
play tbe role of deserter, to exchange
his blue uuifoim for 3 butternut suit,
aud to carry with him his arms. Know
ing that- the McGees had friends or
spies all through the country, Collins
left camp at night, and outside of Gen
eral Carter aud a few officer’s in his own
regiment his mission was unknown, aud
it was generally believed that ho had
deserted.
Tbe rendezvous of the outlaws was
supposed to be about the headwaters
of tbe Clinch river, southwest of the
town of Jalisco.
On the third day out from Cumber
land gap Collins met a man at a point
where he was evidently posted doing
picket duty. He was black haired, lithe
and middle aged, and he wore better
boots and clothes than the average
mountaineer. Instead of the heavy
squirrel rifle he carried a Springfield
musket, and his belts aud cartridge box,
stamped with the letters “U. 8.,” told
the source of bis ordnance supplies.
Usually these men meet each other
and even strangers with a refreshing
I and assuring warmth of manner, but
the man on picket made no attempt to
disguise his displeasure at meeting Col
lins. Without raising his piece, which
ae carried in the hollow of his arm, tbe
man took a position directly in the mid
dle of the trail and called out:

CHAPTER L
As a people the southern mountaineers
are not mercenary, and whether fight
ing on the side of the Union or the side
of secession compensation was with
them a secondary consideration. In the
Union army they were better fed and
better clothed than they ever had been
In times of peace, and this fact, cou
pled with their innate love of fighting,
made many of them look upon the war
as an undisguised blessing.
For nearly four years the battle lines
extended over hundreds, yes, thousands
cf miles, and during much of this time
the southern mountains were debatable
territory. Over some counties of south
eastern Kentucky and northeastern
Tennessee the battle tide ebbed and
flowed about 60 limes as the men in
blue or gray advanced or retreated.
In this territory the military rule was
spasmodic and subject to the most vio-

lent changes, and the regular machinery
of the law—at the best never very ef-
footive in these mountain»—went to
pieces at the very beginning and re
mained a wreck till the return of peace.
Before the war these mountaineers
! were the most thriftless white people in
America. By comparison the free ne-
i groes of the south were models of intel
ligent industry. They raised barely
I enough corn and meat to subsist on.
[ They were always on the verge of a
• famine, aud chronic starvation would
j have been the rule had it not been for
I the efforts aud forethought of the won-
: en and children.
But the crops that had always been
1 sparse became very uncertain when
hungry troopers began to pour through
i ihe mountain trails, and the young corn
I was ruthlessly cut or pulled up to feed
the horses. “Ef we uns can’t raise hogs
and hominy, ’ ’ a3 one of these captured
mountain men put it, “we uns can raise
hell,” and they did.
No inconsiderable number of these
men became veritable Ishmaelites.
Every disaster in their neighborhood,
whether to the Union or to the Confed
eracy, was turned to their advantage.
As “southern partisans” they raided
the blue grass country for horses. As
“Union scouts” they plundered the un
protected stores of the Confederates,
and their thorough knowledge of tho
j country and of the opposition that might
be expected gave them for years a pros
perous immunity from detection.
Among the men who successfully
i carried on this work cf murder and
I spoliation were the McGees—father and
, sou. Before the war they lived not far
' from Wild Cat, Ky., but ae soon as
j they had mado up their minds to pursue
' a course of impartial robbery they inov-
j cd south to the great Cumberland pla
teau.
In the early spring of 1S64 General
Carter determined to find the biding
place cf these Ishmaelites in the Cum
berland plateau and to destroy them
root and branch. Heretofore they had
eluded every force sent against them,
aud it was evident that they could not
be destroyed by ordinary methods.
Learning of General Carter’s purpose,
James Collins of the First Tennessee,
a young mountaineer of unusual nerve
and intelligence, volunteered to go into
the camp of the Ishmaelites, learn all
their secrets and return with tbe in
formation.

that he knew the mountains and tbe
