Had the South in her border
A hero to spare,
Or a heart at her altar,
Lo! its life's blood was there!

Might never disguise
The smile of the South
On the lips and the eyes
Of her barefooted boys!Military 29 Nov 1863 Knoxville, Knox, Tennessee [2] Wounded in the the neck and arm while charging Fort Sanders at Knoxville.
