    • NOTE 1./ Worth County GaArchives Military Records.....Worth Rebels
      <<http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/worth/military/civilwar/rosters/gmt46worthreb.txt>>

      While the company were in the breastworks at Deep Bottom the Yankees made a furious charge and succeeded in carrying the works. When the charge was made a stalwart Yank mounted the breastwork in front of Private Berrien Hobby, and making a thrust at him with his bayonet, succeeded in running it through Hobby's shirt bosom just below the neck. In making the thrust he lost hold of the gun, and Hobby's gun not having a bayonet on it, he quickly seized the Yank's "fowling piece," and while he was drawing the bayonet out of his shirt the gentleman in blue was making strenuous efforts to fill his eyes with sand, which laudable and warlike undertaking he partially succeeded in accomplishing before
      Hobby got "things straightened out." Then bringing the gun to a "charge," Hobby made a dash for his foe and ran him over the works and three others with him. Looking up and down the works he saw the enemy pouring over them, and not a "rebel" in sight but himself. Realizing the situation at a glance, he threw down his gun, "shucked" all extra weight and made a dash for liberty, while the bullets of the foe chopped and hacked and split up the zephyrs around his ears in a lively manner. Fortunately, he escaped without a scratch. In speaking of the affair afterwards he said: "bast if they had all stayed as long as I did if them Yanks ever would have cleaned us up!"
