Notes for JACKSON CARL BOATRIGHT:
Newspaper article: Lexington, Oklahoma - May 3 1937:
Eight days ago, J.C. Boatright, wealthy Cleveland County farmer called his 7 children together and divided his property estimated in excess of $100,000. Today he was dead of acute indigestion. Funeral services were planned for tomorrow at Shiloa, near here. Survivors include Same and Ollie Boatright, Straftord, Oklahoma, sons.
Obit: J.C. Boatright, 91 year old pioneer Lexington farmer and key figure in a district court divorce suit here last year, died of old age sunday in his Cleveland County farm home. Boatright was charged with extreme cruelty in March, 1936, by his 67 year old wife, Mrs. Lizzie Boatright, who sought property settlement from an estate she estimated at $100,000. R.P. Hill, district judge, dismissed he case for lack of evidence and five months later Boatright won a divorce in the same court. Survivors include children by a former marriage, one daughter, Mrs. C. A. Owens, Lexington; and 6 sons, James, William and Wiley Boatright, Lexington; Sam and Ollie Beatright, Stratford; and John Boatright, Mission, Texas. The Garrison funeral home is in charge of funeral arrangement.
...from The Norman Transcript in Norman, OK, dated: May 3, 1937
Injestion Fatal to J.C. BOATRIGHT
An acute attack of ingestion Sunday claimed the life of J.C. Boatright, 91 years old, a Cleveland county pioneer and one of the area's oldest persons. Death came at his home, three miles north of Lexington.
The aged man came to this county in 1889 and settled near Noble. Later he moved to his present home and has lived there for a number of years.
His death was sudden. He arose Sunday morning, apparently feeling as well as usual. He went to church and it was not until after his noon meal that he started complaining. He died between two and three in the afternoon.
Funeral arrangements are tentative. They will be held at the Shiloh Methodist church, between Noble and Lexington, and probably will be Tuesday afternoon. Definite time for services will be set upon the arrival of a son, John Boatright, of Mission, Texas.
Other survivors include five sons, James, Bill and Wylie Boatright, all of the Lexington community; Sam and Ollie Boatright of Stratford; a daughter, Mrs Bert Owens, at home, and a sister, Mrs Julia Ritchie, in Tennessee. There are numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Burial will be in the Shiloh cemetery.

8-524. WILLIAM C. BOATWRIGHT (RADAMANTHUS M.8, LANGHORNE7, JESSE6, BENONI5, JOHN4, JOHN3, JOHN2, Not Yet Determined1) was born Abt. 1844 in Wilkes County, Georgia, and died 09 Jul 1864 in the Battle of Monocacy, Frederick County, Maryland.
Notes for WILLIAM C. BOATWRIGHT:
William served in Wilkes Guards, Company G, 61st Regiment, Georgia Volunteer infantry, Army of Northern Virginia. The unit was originally Company G, 7th Battalion, Georgia Infantry. William enlisted as a private October 8, 1861. He was killed at the Battle of Monocacy, Maryland, July 9, 1864.
The Wilkes Guard was mustered into service at Savannah as Company G, 7th Battalion Georgia Infantry and was ordered to Jekyll Island, Georgia. It was well equipped and armed with the best Enfield Rifles. It became a part of the 61st Regiment Georgia Infantry with Colonel Lamar in command. This regiment, with the rest of Lawton's Brigade, was ordered to Virginia and consolidated with the Lawton-Gordon-Evans Brigade.
The Lawton-Gordon-Evans Georgia Brigade (so-named for its three principal commanders) was one of the premier brigades of Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, serving with distinction from the Seven Days battles around Richmond (May-June 1862) until its surrender at Appomattox Court House (April 9, 1865).
The brigade was initially comprised of six regiments (13th, 26th, 31st, 38th, 60th, and 61st Georgia), which were raised at the call of Governor Joe Brown for the defense of the Georgia coast following the bombardment of Fort Sumter.
The six regiments were placed under the command of Brig. Gen. Alexander Lawton, commander of the Georgia Military District, who had proposed formation of an "elite brigade" of Georgia troops to answer Richmond's call for troops to repel the threat posed by McClellan's advance from Williamsburg on the Confederate capital (i.e. the Peninsula Campaign).
In May 1862, the six regiments, which mustered between 6,000-7000 men, were moved by train to Lynchburg and the Shenandoah Valley to reenforce Stonewall Jackson as part of a deception planned by General Lee to mask his planned offensive against McClellan's forces around Richmond.
Having arrived with Jackson's column during its forced march from the Valley to engage in the Seven Days Battles around Richmond, the Brigade received its baptism of fire at the battle of Gaines Mill (June 27, 1862), suffering 492 killed and wounded out of approximately 3,500 soldiers carried into battle. Spurred on by General Richard Ewell's "Hurrah for Georgia," they formed line of battle and advanced through heavy woods and marshy stream bottoms until they met the enemy posted on higher ground. On the left, the 31st and 38th Georgia charged Sykes' Union Division, overrunning the Hoboken battery, and pushing back the elite regulars until Hood's brigade broke through the Union center and a general advance caused the Union lines to collapse.
Following the Seven Days battles around Richmond, General Lee sent Stonewall Jackson northward with half his army to neutralize a second Union army under Gen. John Pope, which was advancing on Richmond. Jackson attacked Pope's advance at Cedar Mountain, where the Georgians guarded Jackson's supply train and saw none of the fighting. Jackson then maneuvered his Corps into the rear of Gen. John Pope's army, skirmishing with rear echelon troops at Bristoe Station and capturing the Union supply depot at Manassas Junction, before concealing his force on a wooded ridge near Groveton. At Brawner's Farm, Jackson emerged from hiding to strike the march column of King's Union Division. The Georgia Brigade suffered heavy casualties in a prolonged firefight on open ground with the Union Iron Brigade and it's Battery B, 4th U.S. Artillery. Georgia Brigade commander Alexander Lawton thereafter assumed command of Ewell's division when Ewell was severely wounded. The Georgians were posted in the center of Jackson's line for the subsequent battle of 2nd Manassas (Bull Run).
After victory at 2nd Manassas, Lee moved his army north into Maryland. When pressed by the larger Union army under Gen. McClellan, Lee collected his forces near Sharpsburg, Maryland and put them into line along Antietam Creek. The Georgia Brigade was postred at the center of Stonewall Jackson's lines along the fringe of Miller's Cornfield and the East Woods. Under temporary command of Col. Marcellus Douglass, the Gerogians blunted the onslaught of Hooker's attacking columns in desperate fighting. Helping to repulse attacks by elements of Duryea, Hartsuff, and Christian's Union Brigades, the Georgians suffered over 560 killed, wounded, and missing out of the 1100 who entered the fray in just 45 minutes of hard fighting. Their commanding general, their brigade commander, and five of the six regimental commanders were either killed or wounded in the fierce conflict. Badly frazzled but not broken, the Brigade was replaced in line by Hood's Texas Brigade during a lull in the fighting. Although leaderless, many of the Georgians remained at the front or returned to the fighting on their own accord throughout the balance of the battle.
After Antietam, Lee retired to Virginia, taking up positions near Fredericksburg guarding the crossings of the Rappahannock River. The Union Army under Gen. Burnside moved to attack the strong confederate positions on Marye's Heights making no progress in spite of heavy casualties until George Meade pushed his Federal Division through a swampy gap farther down the Confederate lines and rolled up Gregg's South Carolina Brigade. Major General Jubal Early sent the Georgia Brigade in to plug the hole. Their counterattack was so successful and the ardor of the Georgians' charge so great that they chased Meade's collapsing lines back out on the plains, driving to within 400 yards of the Rappahannock River, where their advance stalled before Birney's fresh Federal division and sixteen guns. It is reputed that the sight of this charge, involving four of the six Georgia Regiments, may have inspired General Lee's famous observation: "It is well war is so terrible; otherwise we would grow too fond of it."
In the subsequent Chancellorsville Campaign, fighting with new Brigadier General John Brown Gordon, the 13th Georgia helped delay the Union Iron Brigade and its Rappahannock crossing at Fitzhugh's Landing. While Lee faced Hooker at Chancellorsville, Sedgwick's Corps thrust through the Confederate lines at Marye's Heights above Fredericksburg and threatened Lee's rear until stopped at Salem Church. Here the Brigade recaptured the lightly defended Heights and then successfully rolled back the left flank of Sedgwick's Union Sixth Corps, threatening their line of retreat across Banks Ford.
Despite the death of Stonewall Jackson, General Lee was encouraged by the twin victories at Chancellorsville and Fredericksburg to try a second invasion. Assigned to Early's Division of Ewell's Corps, the Georgia Brigade skirmished with Milroy's Union forces at Winchester in the Shenandoah Valley on their way to Maryland and then marched as far north and east as Wrightsville, Pennsylvania before being stopped when fleeing state militia burned the bridge over the Susquehanna River. The Georgians then turned south again to join Lee's army as it concentrated around Gettysburg.
In the afternoon the first day's fighting at Gettsyburg, General Gordon led his newly arrived Brigade in a devastating charge that rolled over the right flank of the Union line, causing the collapse of the Union XI Corps. Closely pressing the disintegrating Union forces, Gordon's Brigade killed or wounded nearly 1500 Union troops and captured another 1800, against a loss of approximately 400. After the war, General Richard Ewell recalled that "Gordon's Brigade that evening put hors de combat a greater number of the enemy in proportion to its own numbers than any other command on either side ever did, from the beginning to the end of the war." Gordon was chagrined that his advance was halted and that Ewell later declined his entreaties to attack the confused Federal forces on Cemetary Hill before they could rally and entrench. The Brigade saw little action in the balance of that great battle and served as part of the rear guard in Lee's retreat.
The Brigade's next great exploit was at the Battle of the Wilderness. Arriving on the field as the Union 5th and 6th Corps bore down on the Ewell's 2nd Corps, Gordon's brigade launched into the middle of the Union line, penetrating deeply into a gap between the Federal brigades of Cutler and Stone. Apprehensive of being cut off, Gordon formed his regiments in two lines, facing back to back, and charged again, rolling up the flanks of the Federal brigades in both directions and causing a general panic that stalled the Union assault. In the confusion that followed, Major James Van Valkenburgh of the 61st Georgia and several aides single-handedly captured the entire 7th Pennsylvania Regiment by bluff. The rout of Cutler's Iron Brigade proved a measure of revenge for the losses suffered at the hands of the "Black Hats" at Groveton.
Following this successful attack, Gordon's Brigade was shifted to the far left of the Confederate line. Here, early the next day, Gordon determined that the Union right flank was susceptible to a flanking attack similar to Jackson's master stroke at Chancellorsville. His division commander Jubal Early refused to believe that the Union lines were unsupported and entreaties to Ewell were unavailing until late in the day when Ewell, under pressure from Lee to mount an attack, authorized Gordon's plan. Attacking as the sun set, Gordon's Georgians caught the Federals by surprise, rolling up their lines for nearly a mile, capturing over 600 prisoners and two Brigadier Generals, and apparently causing a near panic among the staff officers at Grant's headquarters. Unfortunately for the South, Grant remained unruffled. In his subsequent report and after the war, Gordon argued with much feeling that this attack, if made earlier in the day and with adequate support, would have produced a decisive Confederate victory.
After the Wilderness, the Brigade joined in the race to Spotsylvania Courthouse under the command of new Brigadier General Clement Anselm Evans in a patched-together division created for John Brown Gordon, who was promoted Major General. Held in reserve, they were thrown into the bloody fighting twice on May 10 and May 12, 1864 to plug holes caused by the sudden assaults of Wright's VI Corps and Hancock's II Corps against the so-called Mule Shoe salient, the apex of which was known later as "Bloody Angle." In the second charge, as the fate of the Confederate army stood in the balance, General Lee rode into the center of Gordon's forming line, apparently resolved to lead them in the advance, until the cries "General Lee to the rear" by the Georgians and Virginians of Gordon's command compelled him to retire to safer ground.
Evan's Georgia Brigade fought and marched with Lee's army as it was inexorably pushed back on it's defensive lines at Richmond and Petersburg. Then, the Georgians were dispatched with Early's small corps to drive Union forces under Gen. Hunter from the Shenandoah Valley, who were threatening Richmond from the rear and laying waste to the Valley's rich agriculture. After chasing Hunter into West Virginia, Early's forces raced up the Valley, into Maryland, and towards Washington, DC. Delayed by a day of hard fighting at Monocacy, Early's small command reached the suburbs of Washington, D.C. at Fort Stevens just in time to watch reenforcements sent by Grant from Virginia file into the city's strong fortifications.
Following their disappointment at Washington, Early's command retired back into the Shenandoah Valley. In August1864, Gordon's Division was the subject of an inspection report, which noted that "Evans' (Georgia) brigade has lost by casualty so many and such valuable officers as to interfere seriously with its good management." The inspection concluded, however, that "in spite of all defects, the division has fought with conspicuous gallantry and constant success."
Shortly thereafter Gen. Phil Sheridan's newly-created Union Army of the Shenandoah began active operations against Early and subjected the out-numbered confederate forces to embarrassing reverses at Winchester, Fisher's Hill, and Cedar Creek.
Tradition holds that the Georgia Brigade also participated in the last attack made by the Army of Northern Virginia, when Gordon's Corps, now in the advance, charged a hastily constructed line of breastworks thrown across their line of march at Appomattox Court House by Sheridan's cavalry corps, carrying the works, capturing two guns and taking prisoners, before Union infantry reenforcements and a flag of truce halted the fighting.
At Appomattox, approximately 750 officers and men of the Georgia brigade were surrendered to Federal authorities, all that was left of a brigade that mustered nearly 7,000 men three years before, and that had been reenforced during the course of the war by another 800 men from the 9th, 12th, and 18th Georgia Battalions. Only the combined Louisiana Brigades of Hays and Taylor (12 regiments) lost more men than did Lawton-Gordon-Evan's Georgia Brigade during the war.
The Battle That Saved Washington
The Battle of Monocacy
Saturday, July 9, 1864
Source: Monocacy National Battlefield website (http://www.nps.gov/archive/mono/mo_bat.htm)
If judged by its consequences rather than its size, the Battle of Monocacy ranks among the important battles of the American Civil War. Here, July 9, 1864, on a checkerboard of gold wheatfields and green cornfields just outside Frederick, Maryland, Confederate forces under General Jubal Early defeated Union forces under General Lew Wallace. The battle cost Early a day's march and his chance to capture Washington, DC. Thwarted in the attempt to take the capital, the Confederates turned back to Virginia, ending their last campaign to carry the war into the North.
Early's bold raid was part of a plan to divert Union forces away from Robert E. Lee's army at Petersburg, Virginia. Pushing northward through the Shenandoah Valley, Early arrived at Winchester, Virginia, on July 2. After plundering Federal stores at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, Early's men crossed the Potomac into Maryland at Sharpsburg, near Antietam, where a previous Southern offensive had ended in bloody battle two years before.
Early's cavalry collected $20,000 from Hagerstown residents to spare their town. But at Frederick, where the main body of troops headed, General Early himself demanded, and received, $200,000 ransom.
Meanwhile, the Confederate actions were having the desired effect on Washington. Responding to alarm caused by Early's advances, General U.S. Grant dispatched a 5,000-man division under James B. Ricketts on July 6, and a few days later sent the full corps under H.G. Wright. Until those troops arrived, however, the only Federal army between Early and the capital city was a ragtag group of 2,300 men commanded by Major General Lew Wallace.
At the time, Wallace, who would become best known for his book Ben Hur, was headquartered m Baltimore. Away from the battlefront, the district was used for training recruits. Most of Wallace's men had never seen battle.
Wallace learned that a large enemy force was advancing. Uncertain whether Baltimore or Washington was the Confederate's objective, he knew he had to delay their approach until reinforcements could reach either city.
Frederick Junction, also called Monocacy Junction, three miles southeast of Frederick was the logical point of defense for both cities
The Georgetown Pike to Washington and the National Road to Baltimore both crossed the Monocacy River there as did the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. If Wallace could stretch his little army over six miles of riverfront to protect both turnpike bridges, the railroad bridge, and several fords, he could make Early disclose the strength and objective of the Confederate force and delay him as long as possible.
Wallace's prospects brightened with word that the first contingent of Grant's Veterans, the troops commanded by General Ricketts, had reached Baltimore and were rushing by rail to join Wallace at the Monocacy.
On Saturday, July 9, combined forces of Walllace and Ricketts, numbering about 5,800 were positioned at the bridges and fords of the river. The higher elevation of the river's east bank formed a natural breastwork for some of the soldiers. Others occupied two block-houses, the trenches they had dug with a few available tools, or took what cover they could among the fences and crops of once peaceful farms.
Confederate General Dodson Ramseur's division encountered Wallace's troops on the Georgetown Pike near the Best Farm; General Robert Rodes's division clashed with the Federals on the National Road. Believing that a frontal attack across the Monocacy would be too costly, Early sent John McCausland's cavalry down Buckeystown Road to find a ford and outflank the Union line. Confederates penetrated the Monocacy defenses below the McKinney-Worthington Ford and attacked Wallace's left flank. Some of the heaviest fighting that day took place where they confronted Ricketts's veterans at a fence separating the Worthington and Thomas farms.
The Federals fought fiercely to hold position, but it was only a matter of time before the superior force nearly 15,000 Confederates--gained control. A three-pronged attack of Confederate's from General John Gordon's Division led by Terry, York, and Evans pushed Ricketts back toward the National Road where he was joined by the beleaguered troops who had fought Ramseur and Rodes all day.
By late afternoon the Federals were retreating toward Baltimore, leaving behind over 1,294 dead, wounded, and captured. Later, General Wallace gave orders to collect the bodies of the dead in a burial ground on the battlefield where he proposed a monument to read: "These men died to save the National Capital, and they did save it."
The way lay open to Washington. Early's army had won the field at Monocacy, but at the expense of 700 to 900 killed and wounded and a day lost. The next morning the Confederates marched on, and by midday Monday, Early stood inside the District of Columbia, looking at the earthworks of Fort Stevens.
But even as Early watched, the blue-coated veterans of Wright's corps marched toward Fort Stevens. That night, Wright pushed back the rebels. Early had succeeded in drawing some of Grant's forces away from Lee, but taking Washington no longer seemed possible. The rebel army withdrew across the Potomac at White's Ford, and returned to friendly Virginia.
General Early wrote in a report of the 1864 campaign:
"Some of the Northern papers stated that, between Saturday and Monday, I could have entered the city; but on Saturday I was fighting at Monocacy, thirty-five miles from Washington, a force which I could not leave in my rear; and after disposing of that force and moving as rapidly as it was possible for me to move, I did not arrive in front of the fortifications until after noon on Monday, and then my troops were exhausted ...."
General Grant also assessed Wallace's delaying tactics at Monocacy:
"If Early had been but one day earlier, he might have entered the capital before the arrival of the reenforcements I had sent .... General Wallace contributed on this occasion by the defeat of the troops under him, a greater benefit to the cause than often falls to the lot of a commander of an equal force to render by means of a victory."
Report of Maj. Gen. John B. Gordon, C. S. Army, of Battle of the Monocacy
(July 9, 1864)
[Source: Official Records of the War of the Rebellion]
HEADQUARTERS GORDON'S DIVISION,
July 22, 1864.
MAJOR: In accordance with orders from corps headquarters, I have the honor to submit the following report:
About 2.30 p.m. July 9 I was ordered by Major-General Breckinridge, commanding corps, to move my division to the right and cross the Monocacy about one mile below the bridge and ford on the Georgetown pike, which were then held by the enemy.
On reaching the river I directed my brigade commanders to cross as rapidly as possible, and then to file to the left in the direction of the enemy's line, and I rode to the front in order to reconnoiter the enemy's position. I found that Brigadier-General McCausland's cavalry brigade (dismounted) had been driven back by superior numbers, and that the enemy was posted along the line of a fence on the crest of the ridge running obliquely to the left from the river. In his front lay an open field, which was commanded by his artillery and small-arms to the extent of their range, while in his rear ran a valley nearly parallel with the general direction of his line of battle. In this valley I discovered from a wooded eminence in front of his left another line of battle in support of the first. Both these lines were in advance of the Georgetown road. The enemy's line of skirmishers covered the front of his first line and stretched far beyond it to the left. Having been ordered to attack this force, I had the division skirmishers, under Captain Keller, of Evans' brigade, deployed, and directed one brigade (Evans'), under the protection of a dense woodland about 700 yards in front of the enemy's left, to move by the right flank and form so as to overlap the enemy's left. The two brigades (Hays' and Stafford's), united under the command of Brigadier-General York, were ordered to form on the left of Brigadier-General Evans, and Terry's brigade to move in support of the left of my line.
These dispositions having been made, I ordered the command to advance in echelon by brigades from the right. The troops emerged from the woods 700 yards in front of the enemy's left under heavy fire from infantry and artillery, and had advanced but a short distance when, on account of the wounding of one brigade commander (Evans), to whom explicit instructions had been given as to the movement of his (the leading) brigade, and the killing of several regimental commanders, and the difficulty of advancing in line through a field covered with wheat-shocks and intersected by fences, the perfect alignment of this brigade was necessarily to some extent broken. However, this temporary confusion did not retard its advance, which, as I had anticipated, forced the enemy to change his front under fire.
At this point the Louisiana brigades, under the command of Brigadier-General York, became engaged, and the two brigades (Evans' and York's) moved forward with much spirit, driving back the enemy's first line in confusion upon his second. After a brief halt at the fence from which this first line had been driven I ordered a charge on the second line, which was equally successful. At this point I discovered a third line, which overlapped both my flanks, and which was posted still more strongly in the deep cuts along the Georgetown road and behind the crest of the hill near the Monocacy bridge, and at once ordered Brigadier-General Terry, who as yet had not been engaged, to attack vigorously that portion of the enemy's line nearest the river, and from which my troops were receiving a severe flank fire. This brigade advanced with great spirit and in excellent order, driving the enemy from his position on a portion of the line. He still held most stubbornly his strong position in front of the other two brigades and upon my right. He also advanced at the same time two fresh lines of troops to retake the position from which he had been driven by Terry's brigade. These were repulsed with heavy loss and in great confusion.
Having suffered severe loss in driving back two lines, either of which I believe equal in length to my command, and having discovered the third line longer than either of the others and protected by the cuts in the road, and in order to avoid the great loss it would require to drive the enemy from his position by a direct front attack, I dispatched two staff officers in succession to ask for a brigade to use upon the enemy's flank. Ascertaining, however, that a considerable length of time must elapse before these could reach me, I at once ordered Brigadier-General Terry to change front with his brigade to the right and attack the enemy's right. This movement, promptly executed with a simultaneous attack from the front resulted in the dislodging of their line, and the complete rout of the enemy s forces. This battle, though short, was severe.
I desire in this connection to state a fact of which I was an eye-witness, and which, for its rare occurrence and the evidence it affords of the sanguinary character of this struggle, I consider worthy of official mention. One portion of the enemy's second line extended along a branch, from which he was driven, leaving many dead and wounded in the water and upon its banks. This position was in turn occupied by a portion of Evans' brigade in the attack on the enemy's third line. So profuse was the flow of blood from the killed and wounded of both these forces that it reddened the stream for more than 100 yards below. It has not been my fortune to witness on any battle-field a more commendable spirit and courage than was exhibited on this by both officers and men.
To my brigade commanders for their good example and prompt execution of orders I am especially indebted. They rode in the midst of their troops under the severest fire, and exhibited that cool courage so essential in an officer on the field.
There are many other officers of lower grade who well deserve particular mention. Among them I desire to call attention to the admirable conduct of Colonel Peck, Ninth Louisiana, commanding Hays' brigade; Colonel Atkinson, commanding Evans' brigade; Colonels Funk and Dungan, commanding the remnants of the "Stonewall" and Jones' brigades, of Terry's command. I regret to state that my loss was heavy in both officers and men, amounting in the aggregate, as shown by tabular report of brigade commanders, to 698.
Among the killed are Col. J. H. Lamar and Lieutenant-Colonel Van Valkenburg, both of the Sixty-first Georgia Regiment, of Evans' brigade, and both meritorious officers. Colonel Lamar, a most promising young officer, was shot from his horse at the head of his regiment. Several other regimental commanders of this brigade were wounded, some, it is feared, mortally. Lieutenant-Colonel Hodges, Ninth Louisiana Regiment, Hays' brigade, an officer of rare merit, was severely wounded and left at hospital in Frederick City.
I cannot too highly commend the conduct on the field of the members of my staff, Maj. R. W. Hunter and Capts. V. Dabney and L. Powell. The prompt, fearless, and intelligent manner with which they bore my orders to every portion of the field met my hearty approbation.
Lieut. S. Wilmer, my signal officer, had been previously wounded during the skirmishing in front of Maryland Heights, bearing under severe fire an order from me.
Major Moore, my inspector, rendered efficient service in his department.
My senior surgeon, Dr. J. H. Stevens, labored assiduously during the afternoon and night in caring for the many wounded.
I am, major, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
J. B. GORDON,
Major-general.

Notes for JAMES THOMAS BOATWRIGHT:
An interesting note from my immediate family's verbal history, which came from my father: my great-grandfather, James Thomas Boatwright, while on horseback, was ambushed and killed. And the killers shot the wrong man. The fact that he died at an approximate age of 32 can support this.
