Louisville (Kentucky, United States) (search for this): chapter 1.21
A modern Horatius. [from the Louisville, Ky., courier-journal, January 9, 1894.] Defence of a Bridge by one Confederate against an attack by Forty Federals. He Kills three and wounds eight of his assailants after losing a hand. [This article has been received from a distinguished Confederate officer. If the account may be questioned, let it be disproved.—Ed.] [Correspondence of the Courier-Journal.] Bristol, Tenn., January 7, 1894. I had an interview yesterday with a man who performed an act of heroism during the civil war, of equally cool courage, and under circumstances of far greater personal danger, than that for which Horatious Codes has been celebrated in song and story for more than 2,000 years, for the soldiers of Lars Porsenna were not armed with modern guns, as were the assailants of this Nineteenth century hero—neither was he equipped with shield and coat of mail, as was the brave defender of the bridge across the Tiber.

for more than 2,000 years, for the soldiers of Lars Porsenna were not armed with modern guns, as were the assailants of this Nineteenth century hero—neither was he equipped with shield and coat of mail, as was the brave defender of the bridge across the Tiber. James Keelin was a member of a battalion of Confederate cavalry, known as Thomas' Legion, which was afterward, I believe, merged into a regiment commanded by Colonel Love. The Legion was composed of hardy mountaineers from Western North Carolina, and was attached to the brigade commanded by General Mudwall Jackson (so called to distinguish him from the immortal Stonewall, and possibly for some other reasons). Keelin was only an ordinary private soldier, without any education, and his military training consisted chiefly in being firmly impressed with the fact that his first duty was to obey orders. In November, 1862, Keelin was detailed with some six or eight others of his command to guard the bridge at Strawberry Plains,

In November, 1862, Keelin was detailed with some six or eight others of his command to guard the bridge at Strawberry Plains, Tennessee, which was threatened by raiding parties of Brownlow's Tennessee Federals. On the 6th of November, all the guard was withdrawn except Keelin and one other, and the extra guns they had were taken away by the recruiting officer at Strawberry Plains. This information was doubtless conveyed to Brownlow's troops, for on the 8th, at the dark hour of midnight, a party of Federal raiders, numbring forty men, appeared near the bridge with the evident intention of attacking and setting fire to the structure.
