From James Bradley, a Corporal in the 3rd Missouri Cavalry Battalion (Dismounted) in his memoir Confederate Mail Carrier (published in 1894), describing the action on the first day of Corinth:

"This writer will never forget the appearance of General Green as he rode, smiling, along the rear of the brigade that evening just after a desperate charge of his men had driven the enemy flying out of their entrenchments. He had a revolver in each hand, and his hands were black with powder, showing that he had, indeed been in battle. He actually led the charge of his brigade."
