Cherokeeans in Hood’s Texas Brigade (1907)

Private Canada Sevier Bolton of the First Texas Infantry was wounded by a gunshot through both thighs and capture in action at Sharpsburg on 17 September 1862. He was treated in Frederick, MD into November, then exchanged and sent home. He was listed as absent on wounded furlough on all subsequent muster rolls.

He made it home and was a farmer in Jacksonville, Cherokee County, Texas. Canada Street in Jacksonville, TX is named for him.
