"When Capt. Black rushed up to the battery [Dent's, on Snodgrass Hill, at Chickamauga] and assisted in loading and firing the guns, he was shot through the mouth. The blood spurted out, his under lip hung down, and in a few seconds, he was the bloodiest man I ever saw. He tried to encourage the gunners, but they could not understand a word he said. Notwithstanding this terrible shot, he stayed there in the face of death, until, from the loss of blood, he could stand no longer and was carried to the rear" - Rebel Lt. Francis Kelso, 44 TN., Bushrod Johnson’s div.

RE: "Confederate" units. Ironically, the 10th Confederate was the particular cavalry unit of which I was thinking, so I visited its monument this morning. It is the classic Stone Mtn. granite, irregular pentagon of all Georgia markers on our battlefield, sitting at the end of of row of similar markers for both GA cavalry and infantry, Wilson's and Scott's brigades. Similarly, some "Confederate" regiments here from Cleburne's division are of mixed state content, though claimed by Tennessee in the Tenn. Centenial Commission's "Tennesseans in the Civil War;" it is my recollection that Cleburne's 3 & 5th Confederate Infantry has the standard, vertical rectangular solid marker of all TN. units here as well. Surely some act of Congress or of the Rebel War Department actually created those units, as you directed me to in the microfilm. Thanks all. Joe
