Notes

1. Attached to the 22nd., was a stray drummer boy from an Ohio regiment, that went on to gain fame, whose name is still recognized by all students of the Civil War, Johnny Clem.
2. A.S. Madison wrote to his nephew on July 11, 1863: "About our Captain, there is a number of thrashing laid up for him when the boys are free again. I pity his hide.". (footnote 27). Captain Frederick W. Kimberk of Brighton, Michigan. Kimberk filled out Madison's discharge papers and then resigned shortly after the Battle of Chickamauga. (Sept 19/20, 1863). Madison gives no reason why this occurred. Source: Private Correspondents: Civil War Era Letters from the Papers of Julia Anna Bullard Phillips. By Edward W. Denny. Page 200.
