On December 16, 1864 the 12th Tennessee Cavalry U. S. A. clashed with the 12th Tennessee Cavalry C. S. A. Captain Boyer, of the 12th, U.S.A., had a hand-to-hand fight with Colonel Rucker, C.S.A., then commanding a brigade. Each wrested the sabre of the other from his hand. One account says Captain Boyer then drew a pistol and shot Rucker in the arm. Another account says Rucker was shot by an unknown soldier standing near by. The flag of Rucker�s Brigade was also captured.Source TNGENWEB |
