Belew's claim presents a detailed list of food goods, livestock, and fodder confiscated by Confederate units. Given the date of events, the units Belew accused of the thefts are likely the 4th Regiment, Alabama Cavalry (\"Roddey's Cavalry\") for the theft in 1863; the 6th Regiment, Tennessee Cavalry (\"Wheeler's Cavalry\") in 1864; and an unidentified unit of the Army of Tennessee for the second incident in 1864 (attributed to \"Hood's command\"). Signatures include two of Belew's brothers who witnessed the events, county and state officials, and the Tennessee governor."],"userestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe copyright status of this collection is unknown.
