I am looking for information other than the Official Records on the battle at Wytheville, July 18, 1863. I am particularly interested in the actions of the local citizens. I once read a story about a young man home on wounded furlough that helped rally the troops but have not been able to find the source again. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Respectfully,
