INTERVIEW WITH T.T GARRARD:

AUGUST 10, 1898


I left Manchester, April 5, 1847, a soldier in the Mexican War,
though I was in no engagement, 4 companies of our regiment, the 
16th United States Infantry Kentucky Volunteer's, ( I was Captain
OIF Company E) were stationed at Ceralvo, Mexico, on the Rio Grande
to hold the subjegated Territory. Part of the reigment was there and 
part 6 companies at Monterey. I think 8 months, I stayed there was 
the most pleasant part of my life. The Mexicans were fond of us. We
had no trouble with them. The Climate was pleasant and everything went
well, Old Richard Lucas was a drummer he was a drummer in the War of 
1812 also. Richard Lucas served as a Private in Johnson's Regiment
of Mounted Kentucky Volunteer's in the War of 1812. He served in
Captain Jacob Stucker's Company of Infantry. His services were
May 20, 1813- November 19 1813.....
