Service

On 16 October 1864, Captain John Guynes of Company F was shot for encouraging his soldiers to desert. He was motivated by the belief that the regiment was going to transfer to the east bank of the Mississippi River. Guynes was popular with his men and respected by other officers, however, appeals to spare his life were denied.Шаблон:Sfn
