L. J. Swiney Discharge Documents and Photograph, 1862 September 26-June 27, circa 1900
The first document in this collection (signed by Captain Alfred A. Dysart and approved by Colonels James W. Starnes and William S. McLemore) indicates that L. J. Swiney has been honorably discharged from the 3rd Tennessee Cavalry Regiment (CSA) by reason of a substitute. Another paper (singed by Colonel John S. Scott) indicates how much pay Swiney is due and a letter (signed by William M. Robinson and approved by Colonels James W. Starnes and William S. McLemore) instates Richard H. Bryant as Swiney's substitute. Finally, this collection houses a copy of a photograph taken in Lynchburg, Tennessee showing the 3rd and 4th Tennessee Cavalry (CSA), which served as Nathan Bedford Forrest's escort staff.
