He apparently fought in more battles than any other soldier –north or south. This Confederate, who first served with the Bethel Regiment and later in Hood’s Texas Brigade, participated in many campaigns and went on to participate in most of the dramatic moments of the war. Serving in both the Army of Northern Virginia and the Army of Tennessee, he had a reputation as a solid, brave soldier.
