Cary Tucker: Memory of the Civil War
Home of my Father - Elmore County, Ala.July 30, 1915
While visiting my father, C. W. Tucker, who was in the entire war from 1861-1865 (?) as a Confederate soldier, he in conversation about his experiences, told me, among other things that he in 1861 went to Montgomery, Alabama and was mustered in Co. C (?) 3rd Alabama [?Infantry] under Capt. Davee (?). Thence we were sent to Mobile, Alabama and were there about 12 months on picket duty. While in Mobile as our headquarters, we served on picket duty in Pensacola, Florida, Fort Morgan, Alabama, and Jacksonville, Florida.
In 1862, the 26th day of April, I with many others joined the regular army which lasted 3 years. We were young and inexperienced men and were sent to Lochapoka [Alabama] to drill. In June we went to Chattanooga, Tennessee and there joined the Army of Tennessee. We were then placed in the 46th Ala. Reg't. of Co. B, Volunteers. I remained in this Company and Regiment until January 1864 when the 46th Ala. Reg't. and the 23rd Ala. Reg't. were consolidated. It was then known as the 23rd Ala. Reg't. Co. F. I fought in a number of battles, among them Resaca Battles, Cumberland Gap (there we met the enemy and captured the entire force). After the battle of Cumberland Gap, we marched to Louisville, Kentucky. Next was the Battle of Crab Apple at Louisville, Kentucky. We then proceeded to Perryville, Kentucky. We had an engagement; we retreated to Big Creek Gap; we then marched to Knoxville, Tennessee and there hibernated. The next engagement was at Dalton, Georgia, where we won a decisive battle; we then marched to Mississippi. Fort Hudson, retreated. Besieged at Vicksburg and surrendered July 4th, 1863.
I was captured 5 times, exchanged 3 times and escaped once. One time as 3 Yankees had me under arrest, two of whom had gone aside for a few minutes, some of my friends, my comrades, fired on the soldier in charge of me and I heard them call out to me to run. I did so and found them hidden nearby. We then escaped. (The Yankee fell dead.) During the war, I was wounded 5 times. That is I have 5 scars on my now that was caused by wounds received in battles.
I am anxious to keep those records and papers and should anything happen to me, I want someone of my brothers or sisters to take care and keep them. The old soldiers are now very few and while we all love our relatives, especially our fathers and mothers. We should feel an especial pride in a father who fought and bled for the cause they thought just and which we feel now was right. I am attaching herewith papers which will show that father was an honorable soldier and while he was a private in the ranks yet we see he volunteered and as he in now 72 years old he must have been very young. He was born April 5, 1842. That makes him on this day 73 years, 3 months, and 26 days old.
Done in my law office. This the 31st day of July, 1915.
