Company K
Dominic Black - Private
Dominic Black was Killed in Action at the Battle of Franklin. Family history has passed down that he was killed in this battle, but I found an account of his death in the History of the Second Iowa Calvary 149 - 151. Under the command of Sgt. Coulter they were involved in hand to hand combat. Dominic went to take the rebel colors and struck the color bearer with his sabre at which point a color guard shot Dominic in the heart, killing him. At which point Sgt Coulter seized the flag and steps away was shot in the shoulder and severely injured. An account of the hand to hand combat goes on for a couple of pages. Sgt. Coulter although wounded was able to get away with the rebel colors.
