An entertaining book filled with amusing stories and written by a member of Company K, 5th Texas is: Reminiscences of the Civil War, by Judge John W. Stevens, A Soldier of Hood's Texas Brigade, Army of Northern Virginia (Hillsboro, Texas: Hillsboro Mirror Print, 1902). I only have a copy of the chapter dealing with the Gettysburg campaign. The regiment received a gill of whiskey upon crossing the Potomac and they were said to have been in four states that day. They ate breakfast in the state of Virginia, dinner in the state of Maryland, supper in the state of Pennsylvania, and slept in the state of intoxication. Company K was detailed to guard General Hood's headquarters that evening and they had fun at the expense of a very scared and reluctant bushwhacker whom they convinced was going to be shot the following morning. The Texans always seemed to find humor in any situation. On the field of the second day, Stevens writes that Hood was wounded just as they were passing him going into battle. Stevens was captured in front of Little Round Top. On the march to Westminster, Maryland along with the rest of the Confederate prisoners, he was, as the tallest man in the formation at 6' 2", put at the head of the line, together with Lieutenant Colonel B. F. Luce of the 18th Mississippi.
