 | | He served there with great credit, being wounded in the shoulder at the Battle of Champion Hill, until Pemberton's surrender to General Ulysses S. Grant in July 1863, and on becoming a prisoner of war, he was immediately paroled and promoted to major general on August 3, 1863. |
 | | His regimental service had been chiefly with artillery, but he had generally worked with and at times commanded cavalry, and he was now assigned to command the troops of that arm in the Southwestern Theater (the Department of Mississippi, Alabama, West Tennessee, and East Louisiana). |
 | | Lee was himself wounded in the foot at the Battle of Spring Hill, but did not give up the command until an organized rearguard took over the post of danger. |
