I'm speechless. What a brave young man. I'm just sorry Payne didn't receive a stronger punishment. RIP young Hicks.

His convictions & his bravery has made him historically significant, and memorable, even to this day. Henry Bascom Hicks earned this iniquity due solely to his *“Southern manhood!”* Thank you for sharing..,

It is more glorious to die as a free man by not denying what you are than to believe yourself gods and martyr the people. I did not know the story of this boy, he was a credit to his country. Respect him forever.

Hello 👋 good buddy good to see you 👍. Looking like he grave sunken in so much it broke the grave cover over it. I've been doing some research on my family tree and I found my several times great grandparents grave in a cemetery I've been cleaning up and he was in the Civil War and I kept digging and found pictures of him in his uniform and gun. So neat to find out stuff.

Thanks Chris, interesting story. I was surprised by Hicks' middle name, Bascom, that was my husband's grandfather's first name. You don't hear it very often.

Can you do a video on hero Confederate colonel Robert A Smith buried in Jackson Mississippi? He was badly wounded at the battle of Munfordville in September 1862. He died some days later.There is a memorial to this brave Reb colonel at the battle site and in Edinburgh Scotland.Both erected by his grieving brother.🏴

The story is a microcosm of the entire war. The ruthless hegemonic tyrannical narcissism of the North versus the stubborn bravery of the South.

I believe E.A. Payne was reassigned in April 1864 to a post in Tullahoma, TN, well away from Western Kentucky during that August. So...inaccurate date? If the August date of death is correct, then it couldn't have been Payne that ordered the execution. He was in Tullahoma, TN, almost to Chattanooga at the time. Unless, of course, he made a special trip of over 200 miles for this. Or, he delayed reporting to his new post by 4 months.

This general "Pain" is very strange, very feminine. It reminds me of some US generals of WW2 and after. Many FTMs is US army!

I know of two other stories of what I consider war crimes such as what was done to this young man. One is famous and that is Sam Davis. He was executed for being a spy even though he was in uniform. He he was from Smyrna Tennessee. I'm not sure where he's buried. There's a statue for him on the capitol grounds in Nashville. Just about my favorite I cannot remember the names involved. But not too far from your story the area now called Land between the Lakes, was a man who had a large family during the time of the battles conducted by General US Grant. He was a southerner but was courteous to all and even entertained General Grant. But one day she Yankee troops ran into this man's son's and at least one of them was murdered and his head put on the fence post near the family home. He had only been out hunting and was not in the either army. So the father packed up that night and the next morning left. He spent the war picking off Yankee officers and NCO on river gunboats who were responsible for murdering his sons. The last I heard a man in Murfreesboro still had in his possession the rifle used by this man. And there was at least a historical marker on the scene. Other than that I would have to look up the incident to recall the families name.
