No first hand accounts but his muster sheets place him at the defense of Little Rock in '63 and at the beginning of the red river campaign in '64. he is mentioned by name in the "last letter home of george woosley" that is on the "gerdes" website. Garland P. Bright was born in Miss. in 1835 came to Hempstead county in 1850. survived the war and founded Antioch baptist church (still active) a couple of years before his death in 1917.
