Thanks for the ping, LG. I just started reading "Valor in Gray" (Shuck, you may want to add this one to your reading list). It covers the recipients of the Confederate Medal of Honor by telling their heroic deeds, many untold until recently.

There is a monument for recipient Sam Davis built in 1909 at the state capital in TN.....funded by all the states of the Union.

The inscription reads:

O Southland! Bring your laurels
And add your wreath, O North!
Let glory claim the Hero's name
And tell the world his worth.

Sam Davis Bump!
