Daniel Evans, Civil War Soldier Multi-Cache

You are seeking a short two stage multi cache that begins at the grave marker for Daniel Evans, a Soldier that served and died during the Civil War.

Daniel Evans enlisted as a Private in May 1862 joining Company F of the 41^st Alabama Infantry Brigade. This unit was made up mostly of men from Tuscaloosa.

The unit saw action in Tennessee where “It was initiated into the harsh realities of war when stormed at with shot and shell, and on that fatal field left its brigadier and 198 of its dead and wounded.”

After the Battle of Stones River in January 1863, Confederate General Braxton Bragg moved his army along the turnpikes and the railroad south to Manchester, Tennessee. His men occupied the Coffee County Courthouse, along with other buildings for the next 6 months. While camped in and around town, wounded soldiers recuperated. Some, however, died from their wounds and disease. Several of these men were buried in the Manchester City Cemetery.

The Record of Events for Company F in which Daniel Evans served as a Private, notes that on January 2, 1863 Company F was in battle near Murfreesboro, then marched to Tullahoma, Tennessee and then to Manchester where they stayed in camp until late April.

From the dates the Company saw action, the date of his death and the Muster Roll summary, Daniel was likely wounded in January, and succumbed to his wounds in while being cared for in Manchester.

Daniel’s wife, Nancy Findley Evans, remarried after his death to another Evans from this area, Ervin P. Evans. Ervin also served in the Civil War with Lumsden’s Battery.
