GENERAL AFFIDAVIT - State of South Dakota, County of Minnehaha - 29 Jan 1891

"...While serving as a Seargint in Co B 34th regiment of Ills Infantry at the Battle of Liberty Gap Tennessee June 25 1863 I received a gunshot would in right arm which disabled me for several months the muscles between the shoulder and elbow being torn badly. The wound was covered with gangreen while I was in the hospital at Nashville Tennesee."

ADJUTANT GENERAL'S REPORT; Vol. 2-44; pgs. 688 & 689 HISTORY OF THIRTY-FOURTH INFANTRY "...June 24, 1863, the Twentieth Corps moved by the Shelbyville pike, toward Liberty Gap. On the 25th, the Second Brigade was ordered forward, and advanced across an open cornfield, eight rods in width, lately plowed and softened by the rains which fell the day and night before, until the men sunk half way to the knee in mud at every step. Without help, and in the face of a rebel Brigade advantageously posted, they drove the enemy from his position--the Second Arkansas Infantry leaving their battle flag on the hill where they fought in front of the Thirty-fourth. The Regiment losing 3 killed and 26 wounded."
