Company G
Francis Henry Bounds - Captain
He was a captain in the Union Army during the American Civil War, leading Company G of the 6th Infantry, serving under Gen. Wm S Rosencrans. He served from Apr 1862 to Oct 1863.

He led his infantry in the campaign to recapture Atlanta, which began in Kentucky proceeding through Tullahoma to Chattanooga to Atlanta. His infantry was being transported by train to Tullahoma when the train was attacked by Confederate soldiers near McMinnville.

In order to engage the Rebels, his infantry along with Capt Bounds jumped off the moving train. Capt Bounds fell injuring his legs. Because of his injury, he was provided with a horse to lead his company. After six months of disability, he submitted a disability resignation, which was accepted by Gen. Rosencrans.

Although Tennessee was a Confererate State, soldiers from East Tennessee often volunteered for the Union Army, as they seldom held slaves, and therefore did not necessarily side with the Confederate belief in slavery.
