Lt. Gen. Braxton Bragg, Commander of the Army of Tennessee


General Braxton Bragg, who commanded the Army of Tennessee when the Yankees lifted their occupation of the Nickajack in the Winter of ‘62. His soldiers rounded up the conscription “Class of ‘63” in Limestone County, at least those who hadn’t skedaddled into the woods or bought substitutes. Those drafted included a group of old music-loving friends who brought cheer to old veterans with the 4th Alabama Infantry under General Lee’s command in Virginia. (Chapter XXXVII)
