    3. Here is a message indicating his death from the OR. It also indicates that he was in command of Tennessee Union Cavalry. Mike November 1, 1863. SIR: On October 27, General Vaughn, with a detachment of his mounted men, overtook Goldman Bryson, with his company of mounted robbers, in Cherokee County, N. C., attacked him, killing 2 and capturing 17 men and 30 horses. On the 28th, I left Murphy with 19 men, taking Bryson's trail through the mountains; followed him 25 miles, when I came upon him and fired on him, killing him and capturing 1 man with him. I found in his possession his orders from General Burnside and his roll and other papers. My men all acted nobly; marched two days, and without anything to eat. Yours, respectfully, C. H. TAYLOR, Lieutenant, Comdg. Co. B, Infantry Regt., Thomas' Legion. Lieutenant-Colonel WALKER, Commanding Battalion, Thomas' Legion. (Inclosure) SPECIAL FIELD ORDERS, No. 56. HDQRS.
