Civil War Veteran Jacob Miller
« on: February 22, 2017, 12:25:26 AM »


Civil War Veteran Jacob Miller of the 9th Indiana Infantry was shot in the forehead on Sept.19th 1863 at Brock Field at Chickamauga. He survived the shot, later writing that he had a constant reminder of the Chickamauga Battlefield and the constant pain he suffered from that wound.

Agreed one tough man. I have not heard of any one ever surviving being shot between the eyes let alone seen a picture of one.
