In a Civil War Times Article Justice for General Frazier by Vernon Crow the Leydens Artillery was mentioned as being at Cumberland Gap. McEntire was the only cannoneer that fired on the enemy thus his threatened Court Martial. McEntire was an officer and was sent back to Atlanta. I had read he lost his wife and his dry good business was not successful thus he went to Texas. The Confederate Veteran gave him quite an article. I have it but not handy.

Another friend gave me a list of the soldiers from the 9th that went to Camp Douglas. Sandy Hockinson
