ZOLLIE'S RETREAT. AKA - “Zolly’s Retreat.” Old Time, Breakdown. DDad tuning. Source: Clyde Davenport (Monticello, Ky.). Tune commemorates the death of Confederate General Felix Zollicoffer at the Battle of Mill Springs, fought in January, 1862, near the Davenport home in Monticello, Ky. The General, formerly a near-sighted newspaperman, had become disoriented in the close fight in the pouring rain and, in the process of reconnoitring, came upon some troops he took to be his own men. They were not. A colonel of the Union troops realized the nearsighted general's mistake and, in plain view of Zollicoffer's men, killed him with a point-blank pistol shot to the chest. That was the turning point of the battle.
