Family legend- Sarah Agnes Garrett Drais account from Anna Eliza Garner Garrett - George Garner was sent out on a search and rescue for an earlier patrol that was overdue. His patrol came upon a group of men wearing Union uniforms. George and his men, thinking that these were the missing soldiers, waved, and approached but then were fired upon, as these riders were actually bushwhackers wearing the uniforms of the previously missing soldiers.
