Cavalry, a part of Jackson's brigade and Ewell's corps.  Later he became a
sergeant.  He fought with the Confederates throughout the war, participating in
many encounters in the Valley of Virginia, including those of Cedar Creek, a
prelude to the second battle of Bull Run; the capture of Harper's Ferry, and the
battle of Sharpsburg or Antietam.  Gulley at his death still carried the scars
of wounds suffered at the battle of New Market and in a skirmish at
Huntersville, near Elkins."
