Updated information from McClung Library, Knoxville:
An anecdote shared by John H Stokely in Edward Walker's Tales of the
Civil War, page 26: "...Was injured at Vicksburg.
It seems the Confederate troops were being transported by
train on flatcars. The Yankees attacked the train, and in
jumping off, Justus landed on his stomach and a stab penetrated his
right side. Because of the injury, he was soon discharged
from service."
