John Farley was one of the men who managed to escape the Readyville Stampede, when Dibrell's mostly unarmed recruits were attacked and scattered by Union cavalry in Sept 1864.

The action was written up in contemporary Southern papers by an eyewitness. Records show a George Thomas Bradley in the 9th Ky Cav.

Rescued Pvt Bradley, who had lost his horse at Charleston, Tenn, in a fight with overwhelming numbers of Union soldiers, both cavalry and infantry, Dec 28, 1863.

An article in Confederate Veteran Magazine tells that King used his telescopic-sighted Whitworth to hit a Federal officer at a distance of one mile at Rocky Face Ridge, Georgia.

See Vol 14 (1906) Confederate Veteran Magazine for an account of this soldier's wound, written by Capt. Jesse Wynne.
