We were delighted when contacted on August 16th, 2007 by Kevin McCann, author
of the seminal Civil War study of the (in)famous 6th Tennessee Union Cavalry, "Hurst's Wurst,"
whose upcoming fourth edition will include a photo of our own Captain Nathan McDonald Kemp (see below).

Portrait of Captain Nathan McDonald Kemp (ca.1912)
to included be in McCann's fourth edition of "Hurst's Wurst."
A close-up view of his 'Grand Army of the Republic' ribbon inscribed:
"FIELDING HURST, POST NO. 7, G.A.R., ADAMSVILLE, TENN."
(I wonder if Aunt Katie or Uncle Bob has this ribbon now?)
Capt. Mack's gravesite in Shiloh National Battlefield Cemetery, inscribed:
"[Plot] 3613, Capt. Nathan M.D. Kemp, Tenn.
Born Jun 8, 1830 - Died Oct 4, 1912"
(Perhaps the mystery of his G.A.R. ribbon lies buried beneath)

Mr. McCann kindly submitted the following documents which comprise an 1873 deposition by 'Captain Mack'
and others (including Col. Fielding Hurst himself) on behalf of a William C. Hughes.
