Pvt. Narcissus Finch Quarles, (CSA)

N. F. Quarles, was killed in action on the third day of the second battle of Manassas. He had particularly distinguished himself at the battle of Cedar Run on August 9, 1862, by capturing, alone, nineteen prisoners and three flags. For this unusual display of courage Gen. “Stonewall” Jackson, with many words of commendation, presented him with an officer’s sword, which is now one of Judge Quarles’ cherished relics. The sword lies in the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond
