After the capture ot Nashville Colonel McLean came to this section to advocate the union cause, and aid, in every way possible, to bring his native state back to allogianco to the old flag. He addressed the people of the state wherever it was safe to do so, and finally raised the See- ond Tennessee regiment, U. S.

He was accompanied by a second licutenant of his own regiment.
