Sam Davis Hero of the South and Martyr of Pulaski
A Memphis Commercial Appeal tribute recounts Samuel Davis, a Confederate scout from Pulaski, Tennessee. Born in the 1840s near Smyrna, he joined Rutherford County Rifles as a boy, aided Bragg with crucial fortification data, and carried maps hidden in his boots. After being captured near Pulaski, he refused to betray allies, was tried by a court martial, and sentenced to hang on November 27, 1863, amid acts of hope and bravery by both sides.
