Gen. C.D. Anderson, now of Fort Valley while commanding a brigade of state 
troops at the battle of Griswoldville, got his old black horse, Selim, 
wounded.  He sent Obe Adams back to Macon, who purchased for him a sorrel from 
a soldier who had ridden him through the war.  The old sorrel, known as “Old 
Bill”, is now 33 years of age, and is the property of Mr. W.J. Anderson, of 
Houston County.
