ber 20, 1863, by the troops of the Twenty-second Alabama Regiment of Deas' Brigade in Hindman's Division, commanded in that action by General address. I gave it to him—Major Douglass West, Inspector-General, Deas' Brigade. He startled me by replying: Why, that's my name! Proba, incorrect in saying that General Lytle was killed by a regiment of Deas' Brigade. I think there is abundant proof that he fell in front of to the body of General Lytle. You will recall that we supported General Deas' Brigade. You will recall, also, that upon the exhaustion of thajor West must have fallen into the error by reason of the fact that Deas' Brigade commenced the charge, supported by us, overlooking the fact Lytle was killed we had taken the lead as charging brigade, and General Deas' Brigade had become our support. I observe another unintentioon Anderson commanded his own brigade, in Hindman's Division, and did not command General Deas' Brigade. Very truly yours, S. S. Calhoon
