Horse - Rosencrantz He mounted him some of last words where "Follow me Boys I'm almost home"!!
Sign - "Tennessee a Grave or Free Home" Was a sign that Gen. Cheatham's men saw as they crossed into Tennessee (November 22, 1864) BTW - Rev. C.D. Elliott had a sign made and put up.
Bonus:
1) Captain Theodrick (Tod) Carter - 20th Tennessee Volunteer Infantry, C.S.A.
2) Rosencrantz
3) As we approached the State line, we saw stretched over the road a white strip of cloth about a yard wide and four yards long on which these words were boldly written: ' Tennessee's A Grave Or A Free Home '
My answer for the photograph is John H. Hobart who served on Longstreet's staff as A.A.G. until his wounding on May 6, 1864 at the Wilderness?
My answers for the Bonus Questions are as follows: The answer for the first part is: Captain Theodrick Tod Carter. His horse's name was Rosencrantz. The third answer is: "Tennessee-A Free home or grave."
