JACOB KLODSLOE, ONE OF THE NOBODIES. HOW HE CAME HOME FROM THE WAR - HOW HE GREW UP AND INTO IT. The autobiographical story of a Confederate soldier from an area described as having "Carolina's tallest peaks" on its southeastern horizon. Most names in the story appear to be fictional. Includes his capture at Kennesaw Mountain in June 1864; as a prisoner of war at Camp Douglas, Illinois; his journey home; and how he came to join an infantry company. Yeager (1842-1940) served with the 29th Tennessee Infantry (Confederate) until his capture. After the war he was a lawyer in Tennessee, then a newspaperman and farmer in Johnson County, Texas. Rare. Not in any of the standard reference works on the Civil War or Tennessee.
