C of the 17th Tx Cav. because my g-grandfather, Marquis de Lafayette (Pal) Price, served in Co. C under Capt. Marsh and saved his life in July, 1864, at the Battle of Atlanta. At the time, for various reasons, there were no field officers of the 17th present, and as senior company officer, Capt. Marsh was acting Colonel of the regiment. During an attack on a Union position, Capt. Marsh was shot down with severe wounds to his right arm and left hand. He lay on the ground bleeding to death as most of the regiment retreated. Pal noticed his commander (and pre-war friend) was missing and went back under fire to find him. He located Marsh, managed to stop the bleeding, picked him up, and carried him to safety. Later that day, Capt. Marsh's arm was amputated below the shoulder, and three fingers of the hand were removed. Capt. Marsh was later promoted to Colonel and although unfit for field service, refused to go home! and served in staff positions for the remainder of the war. Despite his severe handicaps, Capt. Marsh led a Texas Ranger company after the war, and served several terms as sheriff of Smith County, Texas. Pal Price also survived the war and maintained a warm friendship with Capt. Marsh until the latter's death in 1901. As an aside, two of Pal's brothers, Benjamin Franklin (Frank) and George, also served in Co. C of the 17th, and died at Camp Douglas after their capture at Arkansas Post. Three other Price brothers died while serving in different Texas regiments during the war. ________________________________________ PeoplePC Online A better way to Internet http://www.peoplepc.com Charles Temple <chastemple@peoplepc.com> 2008-01-05T13:58:06-06:00 Re: [17TH-TX-CAVALRY] Bryan Marsh Letters http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/17TH-TX-CAVALRY/2008-01/1199555464 The greatest source of information yet has come from someone on the mailing list for footnote.com. I got a trial member ship and was able to print out copies of muster papers and death information about my gggrandfather George W. Martin Texas 17th Infantry, Co. D. I found he died of fever/pneumonia in Belton, Texas with rank of Sgt. His brother's Honorable discharge gave me probably the most vital , info of all as it lists his county (Lincoln) Tenn. birthplace. Just wanted to share footnotes was a rich resource for me.

His surviving letters to his wife date between May 5, 1862 and June 20, 1864. While I did not find any of the names for which I was searching in these letters, they do show exactly where Company C was located on specific dates and do contain names of various men. Marsh was captured at the fall of Arkansas Post (his last letter from there dated December 21, 1862) and released in Petersburg, Virginia from which he wrote his wife on May 5, 1863. These letters were published in Chronicles of Smith County, Texas, volume XIV, no. 2 (Winter, 1975), pages 9-39 and 43-55 (including some of the letters of his wife to him in which she mentions current events in Smith County). Unfortunately, this particular journal does not appear to be easily available to researchers in that it can't be found within the Allen County Library (from which one can order copies). While it is available at the Family History Library at Salt Lake City, it is not on film so can't be ordered from your local family history center. It can be found at the Clayton Library for Genealogical Research in Houston, Texas. The letters were too numerous for me to copy in full, nor am I able to perform any lookups in them. Unfortunately, the Clayton's collection is missing another volume of the Chronicles in which are published the letters of Zachariah H. Crow (vol. IV, no. 2, Fall, 1965), but I hope to obtain them directly from the Smith County Historical Society. This volume is also available at the Family History Library in SLC.
