Ninth Regiment Cavalry
In the engagement the Lieutenant received a severe wound in the leg. Though he suffers much pain, he is fast recovering! We trust he will soon be restored to us. During the short time he was in the hands of the enemy they showed him all attention, and tried every possible means to relieve his suffering.
" One of the saddest misfortunes that has ever befallen our regiment occurred on the 2d of this month (October). Lieutenant Lockwood, of Company K, and fifteen of his men scouting in the direction of Stone Mountain were led into an ambush and shot down. Of the fifteen men but six made their escape. The bodies of Lieutenant Lockwood, Sergeant Black, Sergeant Butler, and Corporal Kemple, who were instantly killed, were recovered.
