CONFEDERATE STATES ARMY
1848 (EMBLEM) 1863
In 1862, Jimmy Arnold, a 15 year old orphan boy from Carthage, left Texas to fight in the Civil War as a member of Company G, 14th Texas Cavalry.
As a line formed for the Battle of Chickamauga on Sept. 20, 1863, Jimmy had a premonition that he would die in battle that day. Shortly after marching into battle, he was killed.
Of the 140 men in Company G only 13 survived.
