Journalist and author Clark Cox; late of Rockingham; NC; wrote that the document of the Yankees invasion of Rockingham is the only known account of that invasion by a contemporary; he also wrote that the memoir of John A. Muse is one of the most vivid and colorful accounts of a confederate soldier that exists.
