Excerpt from The Guilford Collegian, Vol. 10: September, 1897 From the very first moment the traveler boarded the train, the figure in gray was conspicuous, destined to become so familiar later on. He was well-dressed and prosperous-looking, belonging to a company which still keeps up its organization. But soon one learned to recognize as Confederate soldiers the plain, poorly dressed old fellows who wore no uniform save the uniform of gray that Time had placed upon their heads. By the time the Tennes see line was passed the crowd began to make itself felt. Every seat was taken. Hundreds of tickets sold in Knoxville Four car loads waiting in Chattanooga; Crowded specials coming from Atlanta; and so the news went. But the crowd was in fine spirits, for they were all going one way _and no one felt that he could go wrong.
