Stew, Nathan Berryman Board was mortally wounded about 10 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 20, 1863. From what I've studied, the quotation below shoud be of interest to you. After the War, some rather well-heeled Tn. & Ky. veterans, lawyers, bankers, etc., published a magazine in Nashville, called "Southern Bivouac," if I remember correctly. Fred Joyce was one of their respected contributors, though his own enlistment is an enigma.

"[I] was wounded... and carried to the Reed’s house.... In the room with me was Gen. Helm and Maj. Rice Graves, and on the same mattress, a young man from the 9th Kentucky.... Miss Reed was much distressed over our condition. About midnight, Gen. Helm died; [the] young soldier [on]... my mattress was in great pain, and... would take her hand and call her “Mother.” ... After Helm’s death, opiates were administered, and the awful night was passed in silence.... When morning came, I awoke to find Miss Reed kneeling over a corpse at my side. The gentle, young Kentucky soldier had given his all for the land he loved" - Rebel Fred Joyce, 4 KY., Helm’s brigade, Breckinridge’s div. Fontaine et al, Southern Biv.

This discounts that Ms. Reed was killed prior to Chickamauga, as historian Pete Cozzens purports -Catoosa County, Georgia, cemetery records also refute that rumor of her her death completely (and the original source bends over backwards saying that the story is most likely a crock of cocca: equestrian manure) Clark, 1860 Census, 97; Vale, 233-4; Fontaine et al. I have also heard that that above mentioned author refused to include available information from the "Official Record Supplements" in his sequel to Chickamauga because he had already sent his material to press prior to the supplements being published, and it would cost him money to be more factual or complete. I suggest you weigh eyewitnesses' reports against 125 years later reports.
I submit to you, above, a true glimpse of what an eye witness reported at Ms. Reed's house, which served as Breckinridge's divisional field hospital. Georgia/South Carolina brigade commander Colquitt also died from his mortal Chickamauga wound there in Mrs. Reed's house.
I heard that you were informed how to contact me, and I'd love to include's Nathan's picture, if you will permit me to do so, in writing, as part of my attempt to memorialize those who gave their lives at Chickamauga. Joe
