On the 15th June 1863 on that date they were "three miles down on the Fair
Field Pike, leading from Shelbyville to Fair Field." When "I saw a man
shot to death with muskets. He was charged with desertion. The brigade was all
ordered to the field where he was shot and then the prisoner was brought. They
sung and prayed for him. He said that he was prepared to meet his God in peace.
After the parade they then took him and led him to a stake and tied him and 12
guns was discharged at him. Six was loaded with ball and six with blank loads.
He would not let them blind his eyes. General Marcus Wright said that he never
saw as gallant a fellow as he was. General Wright shed tears when he shook hands
with him after he had tied him. The man's name was Wright, who lived in Jackson
County. He belonged to the 8th Tennessee Volunteers." There were seven
Wrights in the Regiment and at this date I've not been able to find out, which
one and it doesn't help I've lost the info where the quote came from.
