James K. Malone

He enlisted in Company A, First Texas Infantry, and was promoted to 3rd Corporal on 16 May 1862. He may have been a courier for General Hood prior to the Maryland Campaign. From Hood's Report, covering 22 Aug - 17 Sept 1862:

I would be wrong in not acknowledging the valuable services rendered during the several engagements, in transmitting orders, of the following couriers of this command: M. M. Templeman, T. W. C. Lake, J.P. Mahoney, James Malone, W. E. Duncan, J. A. Mann, W. J. Barbee, W. G. Jesse, J. I. Haggerty, and J. H. Drake.

He was severely wounded in the thigh in action on 17 September 1862 at Sharpsburg while bearing the colors.

He was jailed by civil authorities in Richmond, VA in April 1863, cause and duration not given.
