Civil War Confederate Army Officer. Served in the 4th Tennessee Infantry regiment, first as its Major through the April 1862 Battle of Shiloh, then as its Lieutenant Colonel after the unit was reorganized in May 1862. He was then with the regiment until the end of the war, seeing action in the October 1862 Battle of Perryville, the December 1862 Battle of Murfreesboro, the September 1863 Battle of Chickamauga, the 1864 Atlanta Campaign, the disastrous November 1864 Battle of Franklin, and the March 1865 Battle of Bentonville.

Sherman in April 1865. (bio by: Russ Dodge)
