A bit of trivia:
A member of Hood's Texas Brigade from Houston was Sgt. Russell C. Mitchell, who was wounded at Antietam. Afterwards, he was detailed to a hospital in Atlanta for the duration of the hostilities, and remained there after the war. His first hand accounts of the evacuation of Atlanta and the conditions in that city induced his granddaughter to write a famous Civil War novel - "Gone With The Wind", by Margaret Mitchell.
