Correction regarding the death of Col. Terry

Confederate Veteran
Volume 5, Number 12, Page 622
December 1897

W. E. Moore, Ashby, Tex.: "I call your attention to an error in the sketch of Gen. J. A. Wharton in August VETERAN, which states that Col. Frank Terry was killed at Shiloh. I was with Col. Terry, and was only a few feet from him when he was killed, which was on the 17th of December, at Woodsonville, Ky. Col. Terry had a brother (Clint) killed at Shiloh in a charge of our regiment late Sunday evening, April 6, and I suppose that fact caused the error. I was present in both cases."
