Wm. H. Long, of Grainger (now Hamblen) County, a confederate soldier (59th Reg. Cavalry, C.S.A) was a life long resident of Grainger County. After the was he became a farmer and land owner. He married Priscilla Shields and to this union were born five daughters and one son, all of whom have contributed much to the civic and cultural life of the county. This autobiography was written after the war.

This list was prepared by Wm. H. Long approximately ten years before his death, which occurred may 29, 1921. At the end of the roll, Mr. Long has written the following note:

Sam Shields has the Roll of Co after he was appointed orderly but only the names of the men that was with it at that time. So I could get but little help on this list. I have been at it for three weeks, would get a few names every day and just go write them and put the paper away. It is as near correct as I can make it. If you can get it better I would be glad.
