REGIMENTAL HISTORIES AND MEMORIAL ROLLS.
ing they could be dislodged; but Gen. Johnston would not allow it, fearing the enemy would discover it and take advantage of the weakened lines. The order had been given to Lieut. Kelsoe to execute, but Gen. Johnston countermanded it. It was a fierce conflict from day to day up to the 30th. On that day, after several hours hard fighting, the command was ordered in rear to have a few hours of much needed rest. Here, while sitting beneath the shade of a tree, Col. Fulton received a mortal wound. The vindictive shell was seen to burst high in the air above. A fragment came whistling directly to where he sat. He saw it, and, ful- ly realizing his danger, rose to avoid it, but was too late to escape. It struck his head above the eye, breaking his skull, and striking him down to rise no more. He lingered a few days in excruciating pain. Although unconscious, the conter- tions of muscles and body, and troubled groans, were evidence of the pain. Thus he lingered until the 4th of July, 1864-his great soul celebrating our national Sabbath by abandoning that once perfect and manly body, now maimed and wounded, for one of higher order and better service. Uncle Joe, his faithful col- ored man, was with him to the last, doing all that love and fidelity could dictate.

MILITARY ANNALS OF TENNESSEE.
FORTY-EIGHTH TENNESSEE INFANTRY. (VOORHEES'S.) BY JOSEPH LOVE, CULLEOKA, TENN.
Oy the 12th of December, 1861, the companies to compose the Forty-eighth Tennessee Infantry arrived at Camp Maney, a few miles north of Nashville, Tenn. Six of these companies were from Maury county, three from Hickman, and one from Lewis. In a few days a regimental organization was effected. Two compa- nies (K and E), Capts. Jamison and George W. Gordon, were ordered the next day to Clarksville; from thence to Kentucky, south of Bowling Green, to do guard duty-Capt. Jamison at Whip-poor-will, and Capt. Gordon at Elk Fork bridge.
The Captain of Co. E, George W. Gordon, deserves more than a passing notice. Of commanding appearance, gray-haired, full of vigor though in his sixtieth year, he was altogether my ideal of a Christian soldier. While we were guarding the bridge at this place he would call the boys around him at the close of day and ask God's blessing upon those under his command. He carried a moral atmosphere with him wherever he went. His genial manners made him a favorite in prison, and his friends looked forward with certainty to his promotion when exchanged. He was taken sick on his way from prison to Vicksburg; and there, in one of its beautiful cemeteries, away from those he loved, sleeps one of the purest men I ever knew.
The regiment was ordered from Camp Maney to Clarksville; from thence to Danville, on the Tennessee River; from thence to Fort Henry; after the fight there, to Fort Donelson-Cos. E. and K joining the regiment at Fort Donelson on Friday night, February 15. It was the last infantry to leave Kentucky, being engaged in the battle on the 16th and 17th, Col. Heiman, of the Tenth Tennessee, commanding the brigade; lost only one man in a charge Saturday evening. In the retreat from Fort Henry the baggage and clothing of the regiment were capt- ured, and when the regiment reached Donelson a detail was made from each com- pany to return home and collect clothing, etc .; and the measles having broken out in the regiment, we surrendered only three hundred and sixty men. With those detailed and recruits from the hospital, and those who made their escape from Fort Donelson, a small battalion was formed at Corinth, with five new com- panies from Lawrence and Wayne counties, and placed under Col. Nixon till we were exchanged.
As prisoners of war the field officers were sent to Fort Warren, Mass .; line of- ficers to Camp Chase, Ohio, but on the first day of May, 1862, were transferred to Johnson's Island, Lake Erie; the enlisted men to Camp Douglas, Ill. We re- mained in prison till the middle of August, and were then sent to Vicksburg, Miss., as exchanged. The field officers were exchanged at Akin's Landing, Va., on the James River. From Vicksburg we were sent to Jackson, Miss., where all the Tennessee troops were reorganized for the war. Col. W. M. Voorhees was re- elected Colonel. Capt. A. S. Godwin was elected Lientenant-colonel; Capt. A. J. Campbell, Major. Sergeant William Polk, of the Third Tennessee, was pro- moted to Adjutant, and Thos. D. Spindle, private Co. E, Quartermaster; W. M. Sullivan, Commissary. Line officers: Capt. T. E. Jamison, Co. K (reelected) ; Capt. J. D. Howard, Co. B (reelected); Capt. Samuel Whiteside, Co. C (reelected) ;

Capt. E. C. Cantrell, Co. D; Capt. Jo. Love, Co. E; Capt. I. J. Howlett, Co. F; Capt. A. F. Aydolett, Co. H; Capt. C. W. Vestal, Co. K; Capt. H. R. Walker, Co. G; Capt. William Easley, Co. A.
The field officers and two line officers, with non-commissioned officers from each company, were ordered to Tennessee to recruit and collect up the enlisted men then with Nixon's Forty-fifth, Gen. Polk's brigade, at Shelbyville. The re- mainder of the regiment, under Capts. J. D. Howard and Jo. Love, were incorpo- rated with the Third Tennessee, encamped at Holly Springs, Miss. The detach- ment remained only a few days, when it was ordered to Port Hudson, La., reach- ing there on the 27th of Oct., 1862. December 27th the field officers, together with the men, rejoined the detachment. For the first time, except during the battle at Fort Donelson, the whole regiment was all together. We were made part of Gen. S. B. Maxey's brigade, composed of the following regiments: Forty- second, Fifty-third, Forty-sixth, Fifty-fifth, Forty-eighth, and Forty-ninth Ten- nessee, and the Thirtieth and Fourth Louisiana.
We remained at Port Hudson till May 3, 1863, sustaining the severe bombard- ment when the Federal gun-boats passed our batteries on the 14th of March. Maj. A. J. Campbell had been in very bad health for some time, resulting from brutal and inhuman treatment and exposure in prison. At last his brave spirit yielded, and another soldier was at rest. From Port Hudson we were ordered to Jackson, Miss. At Brookhaven, Miss., the whole brigade was en route. The Fifty-fifth and Fifty-third regiments being in the front train, they reached Raymond in time to have all their baggage captured. On reaching a point some twenty miles from Jackson we found the Federals had torn up the railroad track, and a dispatch reached Gen. Maxey that Jackson had been abandoned by our forces. We re- turned to Brookhaven, and made a detour to the Southern railroad. Grant passed on to Vicksburg, and we then entered Jackson. We were in Loring's division, and took part in all the engagements in and around Jackson from the 10th to the 16th of July. After the death of Maj. A. J. Campbell, Capt. Jo. D. Howard was promoted to Major.
