Veteran Tells Of Sleep-in Strike On New Year’s Eve
Memphis veteran Andrew J. Donelson recalls a 1916 New Year’s Eve sleep-in by Company L of the 1st Tennessee infantry during the Mexican border expedition at Eagle Pass Texas. Snow fell as the men slept through orders and Col Harry Berry’s roar woke none. The tale is cited as the first sit-down strike in history. Battery F, 115th Field Artillery, 45th Division traces its roots to the Chickasaw Guards.
