Smith P. Bankhead? What a laugh. Bankhead cut his own surrender with the Yankees over a month before Lee's surrender and was given a safe-conduct pass through US Army lines on his way home to Memphis. He became a power in the Reconstruction government and was beaten to death in an alley in March, 1867, presumably by confederate dead-enders, although the case remains the oldest unsolved crime on the Memphis police blotter.link

Two of Bankhead's brothers fought on the United States side, one of them as commander of the Monitor.
