No truer patriot fought under the Stars and Bars than Capt. Miller.  He was an old man--some sixty years of age.  He had served as Colonel of the seventeenth Tennessee Infantry the first year of the war.  Ordinarily this would have sufficed a man of his age.  Not so with Capt. Miller.  He felt it to be his duty to fight till the  last, and he surrendered his company on the 11 day of May, 1865, when the war was over.  No danger was so great of hardship so trying as to daunt this patriot of lion heart, and right faithfully did his company follow him.  This company, it may be safely stated, performed services inferior to none in bravery and efficiency.
