Sam Davis
Sam Davis (October 6, 1842 — November 27, 1863)〔(Biography from the Website of the Sam Davis Home and Museum ). Retrieved on August 10, 2013.〕 is called the ''Boy Hero of the Confederacy''. He was born in Rutherford County, Tennessee. He served in various combat roles in the Confederate army from 1861-63 during the American Civil War. As a Confederate courier he was captured around November 20, 1863. Suspected of espionage, he was executed by the Union Army after a captivity of only seven days.
==Youth and Confederate service==
Born October 6, 1842, in Rutherford County, Tennessee, young Sam was the oldest son of Charles Lewis and Jane Simmons Davis. He attended local school in Smyrna, Tennessee, and was educated at the Western Military Institute--now Montgomery Bell Academy--from 1860–61. While there he came under the influence of headmaster and future Confederate General Bushrod Johnson.
He was recruited by Confederate scout forces early in the Civil War. He signed up as a private in the First Tennessee Volunteer Infantry in 1861 and his regiment marched off to war first at Cheat Mountain, next in the Shenandoah Valley, then at Shiloh and Perryville. Wounded slightly at Shiloh, Davis suffered a more severe wound at Perryville. After recovering from the latter wound he took on very active service as a courier for Coleman's Scouts.
