U. S. Civil War
NINTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
In the early part of this attack I received two gunshot wounds, one passing through the right testicle, the other through the left thigh. These, although very painful and bleeding, did not prevent me from remaining with my own regiment until the attack was repulsed, when, fainting from pain and loss of blood, I was carried from the field, and was therefore not a witness of what subsequently occurred.
At noon of the same day I was made prisoner by General Forrest, but in my then helpless condition was released upon my parole not to bear arms against the Confederate States until regularly exchanged.
I remain, Colonel,
your obedient servant,
WM. W. DUFFIELD,
Civil War
