ear doctor—Your favor of September, after some delay in finding me, was received, I have been trying to refresh my memory with reference to your inquiries, but it has been so much weakened by time and trouble that I find I am not able to give you definitely the information you desire. To your first inquiry: Names of the medical officers in charge of the Confederate sick and wounded during the siege of Vicksburg, name also of Medical Director?— I would say that Dr. Winn, of Holmesville, Avoyelles parish, was my regimental surgeon. Dr. Pierce was his assistant. Dr. Raoul Percy was also on duty; as was Dr. Walker in charge of the First Louisiana Heavy Artillery (Fuller's command). As well as I recollect; Dr. Balfour was Medical Director, and Dr. Burchel, if I mistake not, was in charge of the hospital for the sick and wounded. Of course there were many other members of the medical profession who participated in the siege, but I do not recollect their names. 2. Number of Conf

The unbroken tide of Federal victory in the West was rudely arrested by the armies gathered by General Albert Sidney Johnston and General G. T. Beauregard neDonelson opened the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers to the iron clads of the Federals and convoyed and protected their armies as they marched into the heart of the Confederacy.
