Major Dunlap was born in Paris, Tenn., in the year 1843. He enlisted in the 5th Tennessee Regiment as Sergeant and was then transferred to the 154th regiment, then to the 10th Kentucky Cavalry as lieutenant, commanding Company H in Morgan's raid in Ohio. He was captured in Cheshire, Ohio in 1863 and confined in prison at Johnson's Island, from which he was taken with six hundred other officers and placed on an island in Charleston Harbor and exposed to the fire of the Federal Fleet and Confederate batteries. He was later taken back to Chicago and kept several months after the close of the war before being released. Comrade Dunlap was true in all that it takes to make a valiant soldier. He died at Dover, Tenn., but was taken to Paris for burial. Joe Kendall Camp (UCV) thus loses one of its best members.
