In Response To: THOMPSON & 1st ARK INF ()

Bill,

Thomas Willoughby Newton, Jr., was a captain in the 3rd Confederate Infantry at time of the battle of Shiloh. The 3rd Confederate was in Hindman's Brigade in Hardee's Corps. The 1st Arkansas was in Gibson's Brigade in Bragg's Corps. While it's conceivable that Newton could have come across the wounded Thompson at some point in the battle, the story is incorrect in saying that Newton "had been at his side during the fighting."
