Re: Free State Of Jones Church Ambush

There are no detailed accounts of ambushes in any records. Maybe in Knights sons writings, but he only embellished the truth. There were ambushes by groups of 3-5 deserters on small groups of home guard. But no real details. The only detailed account of an ambush was by Confederates on the deserters. A Captain Cooper infiltrated a deserter wedding with his men and captured the whole lot. This is recorded in detail in the papers.
