Notes: Originally published in 1981. Cater enlisted to fight for the Confederacy as part of the Third Texas Cavalry, fought in the battles of Wilson’s Creek and Elkhorn Tavern (also known as the Battle of Pea Ridge). He transferred to the Nineteenth Louisiana Infantry to be near his brother, and fought in the battles of Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, Franklin, and Nashville. After the war, there was no love lost between Cater and “the Yankees.” (I’ve got relatives like that, folks who still take Sherman’s March as a personal affront)
