On April 23, 1862, at age 18, he enlisted in the confederate Army at
Greenville, Alabama as a Private. He was assigned to Captain Carter's Company,
2nd Regiment, Alabama Cavalry and there served until July 1863 when he was
transferred to Company C., 17th Regiment, Alabama Infantry, with whom he marched
in all its campaigns down to Atlanta. Here under General Hood, he fought in the
great battle of Atlanta during July 1864. James Drury later told how the ditches
of his father's old plantation were their breastworks during this battle. Under
Hood's command he marched in the campaigns through northern Alabama into
Tennessee. He fought in the battle of Franklin on November 29th and 30th and in
the extreme cold of that December, fought in the desperate battle of Nashville
where he was one of thousands captured December 15, 1864. He was sent to a
prison camp at Camp Douglas, Illinois where he remained a prisoner until the end
of the war, being released June 20, 1865. He returned home, walking much of the
way, to an emotional reunion with his loved ones. Drury Flowers Civil War
