CONFEDERATE VETERAN
Murdock is a native of Texas and a veteran of the Civil War having served throughout its entire length in the Confederate army. He was present at the battle of Gettysburg and other sanguinary engagements in which the army of Lee took part. He was twice captured by the Union forces and each time confined in a federal prison. On one occasion he was paroled by the personal intervention of President Lincoln and allowed to visit, under military escort, his father who was dangerously ill at his home in Waco, TX. Murdock's father was a veteran of the Mexican War and remained true to his allegiance to the union. It was because of this that Pres. Lincoln intervened in his son's behalf. After the war, Murdock settled in AZ and participated in many exciting episodes while the territory was yet young.
