Clayton, in his report of the battle of Joues- boro, fought on 31st August, 18(i4, says that Brigadier- Gen- eral Gibson, seizing the colors of one of his regiments, dashed to the front and to the very works of the enemy. The brigade lost there one-half of its members. General Stephen D. Lee makes special mention of the gallant crossing of the Tennessee Kiver near Florence, Ala. , by Gibson and his brigade. When Hood's army was defeated at Nashville by Thomas, it fell to the lot of this brigade... to check the jirogress of the enemy near Overton Hill under the immediate eye of General Lee. (Gen- eral Hood gives him the highest praise. He says: General Gibson, wlio evinced couspicuous gallantry and aliility in the handling of his troops, succeeded, in concert with Clayton, in checking and staying the first and most dangerous shock, whicli always follows imme- diately after a rout. Again, he says that Gibson's brigade and McKinzie's bat- tery of Fenner's battalion acted as " rear guard of the rear guard.
