Bio

Co H 4th Arkansas Infantry Information provide by Bill Degge of the Sons of the Confederate & Dorothy Miller ********* We believe that he is one of the men mention in these notes: Notes from page 17 of: THE CAMP, THE BIVOUAC, AND THE BATTLE FIELD By GAMMAGE, BRIGADE SURGEON of MCNAIR'S BRIGADE We arrived at Camp Jackson on the 5th day of September, and encamped in the timber on the hill-side skirting a large prairie. Camp Jackson is about four miles from Maysville, AR. Here we remained for a considerable time, and during our stay at this camp we had more sickness amongst the men than I have ever known in one command in so short a time. In the space of 36 days we had about 30 deaths, most of them from diseases following upon an attack of measles.
