Kenny! David Logsdon took the quote in question from the following source: "A Sketch of the Battle of Franklin, with reminiscences of Camp Douglas", by John M Copley / 1893.

Another great quote from John M. Copley, 49th Tennessee, Quarles' Brigade, (...as a prisoner...Copley writes...) " This handful of prisoners presented a ghastly and powder-burnt appearance; the clothing was badly stained with blood, the faces blackened and blistered by the streams of fire from the enemy's guns...; the hair on many of their heads was somewhat singed and the eyebrows burned off."
