GDG- Re: Tennessee flags book

[Biggsk at aol.com]

Hi Bruce,

>>>>If ever I get out that way, I shall take you up on that  offer.  The  
flag of the 14th Tenn was captured under fairly heroic  circumstances by Sgt-Maj  
Bill Hincks of the 14th CT, dashing down from  the stone wall to seize the 
banner  and running back to the Union line to  the cheers of his comrades.  
Hincks  later wrote that he felt  threatened more by Union fire than Confederate   
resistance,>>>>



I should have the capture details in hand for this one but if not, I sure  
know who to turn to!
 
I can also show you both of the 14th Tennessee's training camps in  
Clarksville - one under houses and one still open fields and their water spring  (still 
pumping out water too).
 
Greg Biggs
