The next part of Henry Johnson Reynolds's "short and imperfect history" deals with his experiences during the Civil War. He enlisted in Company I, 36th Mississippi Regiment, Confederate States of America. He was married with a family at the time he enlisted. Information on his family will appear after the war recollections.

CIVIL WAR EXPERIENCES

"In the fall of I860 I sold my farm in Mississippi and moved to Texas, but as the war between the states was then at hand, I moved back to Mississippi in May 1861 and volunteered in the Confederate service as a private. In February 1862, served as a private in Company I, 36th Mississippi regiment, Capt. Dan Ogletree's company until the close of the war. After the second battle at Corinth, Miss., we were ordered to Snyder's Bluff, 21 miles above Vicksburg on the Yazoo River. I was there put in charge of a detail of 20 men to take charge of a steamboat and travel up and down the Yazoo and Sunflower rivers, bringing down corn and cattle for supplies for our brigade and Vicksburg. After being on the boat a month we were ordered to Vicksburg. We arrived there on the morning of the 18th of May 1863, and were at once ordered to the front as Gen. Grant had all but surrounded the city. At about 2 o'clock that afternoon the Federals charged our position in full force, which we repulsed with considerable slaughter to their forces. But soon after falling back they again charged us with renewed strength which was repulsed as before. Then I made inquiry of the boys as to their supply of ammunition and found that they had about five round each. Then I ran up to where our Colonel Witherspoon was and told him of the condition in regard to ammunition. He told me to go to the ordinance sergeant and tell him to move the ordinance wagon up near us. I told him I didn't know where to find him, so he told me to follow the hollow in the rear of us about a half mile and that I would find him there. So I started down the hollow and the Yanks, as soon as they would fall back after a charge,

SAK Page 135

would turn all their cannon loose on us, it seemed that they all swept down that hollow. There was a terrible crash of shells a-bursting and limbs being cut from the timber and falling about me; but I made the trip safely and sound to the wagon. I told the sergeant what the colonel had said, and he told me that Gen. Hebare, who was our brigadier general, had ordered him to stay there and he wouldn't go. But if I would carry a box of cartridges he would loan me his horse. I told him that I couldn't carry a box on a horse, but if he would empty a box in a good strong sack I would carry it. A box held a hundred pounds of cartridges. He said all right and got a sack. We knocked a box open and emptied it into the sack. I mounted the horse and took the sack in front of me and went flying back up the hollow where the shells were as thick as ever. But I and old gray made the trip all 0.K. I rode up near the top of the ridge, just so the shells would pass over, dismounted and ran over and jumped into the trench and called for one of the boys to help me. One of the Overstreet boys, Robert I think, went with me and-we each took the sack by each end and ran over to the breastworks with it. I yelled to the boys to come up and draw their rations, They did so in short order and it was but a few minutes until the Yanks made the third charge in full force, but as we were fixed f them, we repulsed them as before.
Now I will give a further account of what happened during those three charges: One of our boys set his gun down just before the' first charge and went to the rear, so I picked up his gun and cartridge box and used it in his place, and there was a boy by my side who told me that he couldn't possibly look over the breastworks to shoot. I told him he must shoot and that as fast as possible. He then proposed to me that he would load the two guns for me if I would do the shooting. I said all right. He was too nervous to do fast work at first, but soon got more composed, and so I did almost twice as much shooting as the other boys. And during that evening's fighting one of the boys came to me and said that he had got his gun choked. He had the bullet about half way down the barrel and could drive it no further, so I told him to hand me the gun and I poked it over the works and pulled the trigger. (As bullets and shells were flying thick I thought there was a little danger in a gun bursting as there was in the others.) So after I shot that choked gun I had to do the same with about a half dozen more. As luck would have it, none of them burst.

Grant failed to break the line at our position. He tried another place on the line next day with no better result, and then the third day at another place without success. By that time, as the weather was very hot, those dead men within a few steps of our line became so offensive that it was almost unbearable to stay in our trenches. Then on the morning of the fourth day there was a flag of truce sent in to have permission to bury the dead, of which we were certainly glad; but as the most of these dead, or a goodly number at least, were so near our works that there was a detail made up from our ranks to move the dead out a certain distance from our works. Our losses were light, as we were behind good breastworks, while the enemy had to charge through open ground. After

SAK Page 136

this there was not much fighting except between pickets, sharp-shooters and shelling. I remained on the line with my company from the commencement, which was May i8, until June 16. That morning about sun up I was pretty badly wounded by a stray ball in the left hip, the ball coming out on the inside of my thigh. After I went to the hospital I knew but very little of what happened at the front until the surrender which took place on the fourth day of July, 1863, after a siege of 48 days on quarter rations.

On account of my wound I had to remain in Vicksburg until the 27th of July, and as I had to leave Vicksburg on crutches I was several days getting to Brandon, Miss., where I could board a train. The railroad was torn up from Vicksburg to that point. From Brandon I soon arrived at Hickory, Miss., my nearest home station, and sent up home the next day, which was the 4th of August, just one month after the surrender of Vicksburg. I was thankful to my old friend James Ferguson, for a horse to ride up home, a distance of 8 miles, I being wounded and still having to use my crutches. I was not required to report at parole camp for some time. And then I was taken with a spell of fever, so I did not report at parole camp until February, 1864. Soon after I reported all those who first reported were ordered to Mobile, Ala., and soon went from there up the Alabama River to Selma, Ala. We who were left behind were ordered to Mobile, Ala. So instead of going there I went right on to my command. As Sherman's army had made a raid from Vicksburg and in passing through our neighborhood destroyed everything they could find. They killed all of my father's cattle and hogs, took all his horses and other property and burned his gin with all his cotton, and burned most of the fencing around the farm, even burning the palings from around the dwelling. Also went to my home and took all the bacon that I had prepared for my wife and two little children to subsist on while I was away. So when t learned that, I said I was now ready to go back and fight them again whether I was exchanged or not.

So then we were ordered from Selma to Georgia. We first went to Rome, Ga., by marching a good part of the way, and we then went from Rome to Resaca, Ga., where we joined that army which gave us a full introduction into the Georgia Campaign. We were then attached to Folk's corps, French's division. Sears' brigade. But on the retreat Gen. Polk unfortunately was killed and Gen. Stuart then was our corps commander. We had numerous battles on the retreat, but there was one in which the old 36th Regiment was the principal actor that I well remember, and that was at Kenesaw Mountain, near Marietta, Ga. We were then placed in the gorge between the first little mountain and the main one, and the enemy charged us, thinking they might break our line at that point. Our boys stood firm though and repulsed them with considerable loss to the enemy. My recollection now is that we had only one man killed, his name was Martin Gary. Then we were moved to the top of Kenesaw Mountain, and when we got up there the boys said they would like to spend the balance of the war up there, as they thought the Yanks could never reach us there. But when they turned all their batteries loose on us and it began to look as though they would tear the top of the mountain off, they began to change their notion. We soon got orders however, one morning before day, to move out, so dropped down toward


SAK Page 137


Atlanta where we made a stand of several days. While there our pickets were driven in and we were ordered to go out and drive the Yanks back. My company at that time had dwindled to a pretty small outfit, but we marched out in line of battle to where our pickets had been stationed, but found no Blue Coats there. We then had orders to double-quick, so we went through the thick woods whooping and yelling. But soon we ran onto them lying behind logs and trees. When we got to within about 40 or 50 yards of them, they gave us a volley, and as there were only 14 guns in my company, so many fell at that first volley it looked to me like I was left almost alone. But I looked down the line each way and there were enough left and pursuing the Yanks to keep them on the run -- they all jumped up and ran as soon as they fired that volley into us. But as our boys were on the run they shot over them, hardly hitting any. There were seven of Co. I wounded, one of whom died several days later. His name was Sam Jones, a fine all around fellow whose home was near Decatur, Newton County, Miss. About that time I had brother. Freeman J. Reynolds, who belonged to Capt. W.B. Johnson’s company in the 3rd Miss. Regiment slightly wounded in skirmish, was sent to a hospital in Atlanta and got gangrene and died.

Now with a few skirmishes we soon fell back to Atlanta which place we held for a month or two with fighting somewhere around the line most ail the time. But I well remember when our regiment was on picket duty and I was officer out on the vidette line. I took my squad out just before daylight and relieved the boys who had been there all night. The reason we had to relieve them before day was that our vidette line was very close to the other fellow's line. So we had holes dug about a hundred yards apart that would hold six men and vidette line was strung along a few hundred yards in front of our main picket line. I had some four or five of those vidette holes to see after with orders to hold our ground or fight over every inch that we gave up. Well, it seemed that they were determined to drive us in, so it kept me busy going from one hole to another to encourage the boys all I could to keep up a regular fire and hold their places. The pine and oak saplings were thick and I would drop back a little and then crawl in to where the next vidette hole was. But as I was somehow lucky I was not touched by a bullet that day, although they were whistling around me all the time. They got so hot after us that we had to fall back a little, so l reported the matter to Maj. Partin, and he and Lieut. Ray, two as brave fellows as ever wore the gray, took guns and I also took a gun, and we certainly made it hot for them the balance of the day. When we would hear picks in the gravel we would fire at the noise through the thickets, and I reckon killed one poor fellow from the way he hollered. But our crowd, as hot as they made it for us, all day, came out without a scratch, except a bullet clipped a small dead limb from an oak sapling in front of my nose which skinned my nose enough to make it bleed a little. We held Atlanta with a great deal of picket fighting and some pretty sharp battles in places along the line and a whole lot of shelling. But finally Gen. Joseph E. Johnson was relieved of the command (which was one of the gravest mistakes of Jefferson Davis) and Gen. Hood was put in command. So we dropped off to one side and let Sherman have an open road to the Gulf. Hood then moved

SAK Page 138

back up the railroad toward Dalton, and after collecting his forces at Tuscumbia, Ala., we crossed the Tennessee River on a pontoon bridge and took up Hood's "wild goose chase" to Nashville, Tenn. At Columbia, Tenn., we commenced driving a few Federals before us with a little skirmishing between cavalry until we reached Franklin, Tenn., where the Federals made a stand behind strong breastworks, and instead of flanking or capturing the whole squad we charged them and on account of the advantage of the enemy's position and our exposure the battle amounted to nothing more than slaughter of our men without accomplishing a thing to our advantage. The enemy evacuated the place soon after dark and while we were all next day burying our dead, they were well on their way to Nashville without being molested. And what hurt still worse, besides losing a large number of our brave boys, we lost some of our best officers, viz: Pat Cleburn, Adams and several other officers who had distinguished themselves as brave, efficient officers. Our Col. Witherspoon was killed there. But then, to make matters still worse, we followed them on to Nashville and instead of making the attack at once and capturing the city, we camped around there for two weeks until Gen. Thomas got all the recruits he needed and came out and made the attack on our lines. We were forced to fall back and take another position. On the second day of fighting our army was completely routed and had to retreat back to Mississippi. I was captured on the second day of the battle along with a great many others, there being about 75 officers in our crowd, besides a large number of privates and non-commissioned officers. We were marched back to Nashville and kept 24 hours, when the commissioned officers were put aboard a train and sent to Johnson's Island, where I was kept until June 27, 1865. I was captured December 16, 1864 and landed on Johnson's Island Dec. 22, 1864. We were very well treated while there except we were only furnished quarter rations, which was just enough to keep soul and body together. As before stated, I was released June 27, 1865, was furnished transportation home and landed there on the 4th day of July, l865, which ended my career as a soldier in the Confederate service.

June 24, 1904. -- I shall now endeavor to jot down a few more incidents in my experience in the Confederate service. Will say that we first went out as 12 months volunteers and were organized into a regiment at Meridian, Miss. Went from there to Corinth, Miss., where a large majority of the regiment were taken sick, either with camp fever or pneumonia, of which a good number died. We were then moved to Columbia, Miss., to recuperate, after which we were transferred back to Baldwin, Miss., at which place I was attacked with camp fever and was sent back down the Mobile and Ohio R. R. to Oklana, Miss., to the hospital. The regiment was ordered to Iuka, Miss., where they had the first skirmish with the enemy. After capturing the place they went from there to Corinth and were in the second battle at Corinth, from where they had to retreat, and went from there to Holly Springs, Miss. They then fell back down to Waterford, at which place I rejoined them. Was then elected Second Lieutenant and took command of the company and, was Drill Master and Acting Captain the most of the time from then until I was captured at Nashville in December, 1864.

It has been related how three attempts on three separate days had been made to break the Confederate lines at the beginning of the

SAK Page 139

siege of Vicksburg. Then on the fourth day came a flag of truce from the enemy, asking permission to bury their dead, "many of whom lay within a few paces of our fortifications," and had lain there In the intense heat of more than three days. You can well imagine how gladly they welcomed this deliverance from the sickening sight and smell. "Many of the bodies were too close to our lines to allow the Yankees to come and take them away. A squad from our ranks was detailed to go out and move them back a certain distance I went, and I shall never forget an incident occurring to me while at this most disagreeable task. As I walked over this field of carnage, where dead men and wounded of three separate battles lay side by side, I came upon one poor fellow lying close beside a fallen tree trying to escape the scorching sun. He was severely wounded Seeing my canteen hanging by my side he began to beg for water. I knelt beside him. His lips were parched, his feverish eyes followed the canteen. He was weak from loss of blood. When I had raised his head with one arm I touched the canteen to his lips and he took a deep draught and begged for more. It was pitiful. But our time was limited and many yet to be moved out, so I had him carried or and moved on. I often wondered whether he lived or whether his was the fate of hundreds of others there to fill an unmarked grave. But how was I ever to know? He wore the blue - I the gray."

(This was written by Paris Reynolds from his recollections of what his father. Henry J. Reynolds, told him.)

Another such incident remembered by Paris Reynolds as told by his father:

"From a well-entrenched defense the Confederates inflicted heavy losses on the enemy at the siege of Vicksburg. The Yankee attacks were per force over open and unprotected ground. Here recounted is a little incident which happened during one of the charges on the first day of the siege:

Between our trench and where the Yanks were fortified, but over near them, was a ridge which hid them from our view. But when they charged over this hill they were completely exposed. During one particular charge all the men had passed over this hill and were coming on through the valley this side. Just then a solitary figure appeared over the crest of the hill and came on the run to catch up with his comrades. He made a target too conspicuous for me to resist. I took careful aim and fired. The man stumbled forward and fell to the ground. "Boys," I shouted, "did you see that fellow come running over the hill alone just now?" Several of them answered that they did. "Well, I believe I killed him," I said, "for I shot at him and he fell." "So did I shoot at him," was the reply from every man within shouting distance! Consequently I was immediately robbed of the belief that I had been the cause of there being one less to contend with. It seemed that he had made a target of himself for the whole regiment.
