Also known as Doc Tims. He stood with the last of the remnants of the Army of Tennessee at Greensboro, Tenn where he was mysteriously wounded. Surely one of the last casualties in that army's big history of casualties!

Private William Coleman Tims and the Quitman Invincibles were a part of one of he most impressive and culturally diverse armies in American history. No other force in the War Between the Confederate and United States campaigned over more territory or suffered more camp and battlefield woe than the great Army of Tennessee. The 14th Mississippi's colors was as colorful as the dashing infantrymen they flew for. Over a blue field the goddess of liberty embraces a portrait of President Davis by one arm and leans upon liberty's sword on the other.
