Civil War

John Columbus Mitchell
Company K, 26th Alabama Infantry Regiment

John Columbus Mitchell entered the Confederate Army in April, 1862 at the Fayette County, Alabama, courthouse and served
as a Private with Company K, 26th Alabama Infantry Regiment in the Shenandoah Valley area of Virginia with General Thomas
"Stonewall" Jackson's command, and served in the battles of Williamsburg, Seven Pines, Seven Days Battle around Richmond,
South Mountain, Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg.  Company K was known as the "Looxapalila
Guards" after the river that flows through Lamar County

His unit was returned to Alabama or South Georgia for a short time in late 1863 or early 1864, but was detailed to the battle
of Atlanta and Jonesboro, Georgia in the spring and summer of 1864.  His unit was with General John Bell Hood's command as
the Army moved from Georgia to Tennessee, and was involved in the battle of Nashville, Tennessee in December, 1864.  Private
John Columbus Mitchell absented himself from his unit from December, 1864, until he was captured and paroled at LaGrange,
Tennessee, in May, 1865 after the war had ended.

It is thought that Private John Columbus Mitchell was a blacksmith in the Confederate Army and that he received an injury to one
of his eyes from a hot metal chip while smiting.
