CIVIL WAR TALES ABOUT GREEN LEE HENDRIX
 

Taken from "Shiloh Remembered", page 25-story told by Rastus Wilkerson of New Delight Community, McNairy Co., TN.
Green Lee Hendricks (Hendrix) was another one that fought in the war.  He came through here and later returned to marry a young girl he had seen.
He would laugh and tell how him and a friend hid in a thicket to shoot some Yankees.  They had horses but no saddles.  His friend wound up with a minnie ball in the butt and had to go and get it cut out.  "That's about all we ever got out of the war," he would laugh and say."
