Captain; surgeon. 4th Alabama Infantry, Co. C. (Roster). His badge was recovered from a Confederate camp site in 1977, and is on display in the museum (see "Digs" article). From a letter to T. M. Freeman in January, 1910, and reprinted in his obituary in Confederate Veteran: "I joined the army in Selma, Ala., April 10, 1861 . . . . We were sent to Harper's Ferry, and . . . were organized into a brigade with Hood as our commander. My regiment was one of the brigades that got into the First Manassas battle. . . . I was not wounded there, but in the battle of Antietam, September, 1862. I was slightly injured before that in the second battle of Manassas while commanding my company. I was a private the first year, elected first lieutenant at the expiration of our twelve months' enlistment, promoted to captain in the battle of Gaines's Mill, and then made major at Antietam. On recovering from the effects of the amputation of my right leg I was transferred to the Fourth Congressional District of Alabama and made quartermaster, in which capacity I served until the end of the war. After the surrender I was commissioned by Governor Parsons, of Alabama, to reorganize the militia of North Alabama and was given a colonel's commission." See Virginia article.
