Durham veteran denies cowards tale in 1888 letter
A Durham county veteran refutes Zack Dickey’s 1885 and 1888 charges that he wore a barrel shirt for cowardice during the Civil War. He cites letters from former comrades and court records, asserting no such punishment occurred and detailing a regimental court martial for absence without leave in 1863.
