At the age of seventeen, Andrew J. Collinsworth entered the army, joining Capt. Jesse L. Branch's company and then the Forty-seventh Tennessee Regiment, at Trenton, Tennessee commanded by Col. M.R. Hill. He served in the war with the distinction of being one of the bravest boys and hardest fighters in the service. He was severely wounded in what was known as the hardest picket fight during the war at Corinth, Miss., by a minie ball, which shattered his leg, and from which he was never fully recovered.
