Although Frisby was certainly killed by Jackson's men, one of Longstreet's men (probably from Kemper's brigade) took them from the body when he passed through the area later that day. That would explain how they ended up near the 30th NYV's position at Turner's gap.Timothy Orrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786260332194852108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138149087460561168.post-13519261427497651282018-10-14T03:36:48.844-07:002018-10-14T03:36:48.844-07:00Hello.
