Judy - If you have any interest in A.N.B. Brooks, then you may want to review the claim he made against the U.S. Government subsequent to the Civil War. It makes for interesting history and there is a fair amount of information. Depending upon where you are, they would have it on microfilm at the Tennessee State Archives and I strongly suspect that it could be ordered at your nearest Family History Center.
