Quiet(t), Henry Clay

Henry served in the 14th Infantry Regiment - Co. I.
Quiett, Henry C.- private August 31, 1861 . Deserted September 16, 1864 . Received by Provost Marshal General, Washington, D. C. a Confederate deserter, where he took oath of allegiance to U. S. Govt. and was furnished transportation to Philadelphia, Pa. September 24,1864 .

BTW - this is the only Quiet(t) listed in the rosters. After serving 3 years, his Company was in the trenches at Petersburg in that terribly cold winter of '64. He had fought in every major battle from Seven Days to Cedar Mountain to Second Manassas to Chancellorsville, to Gettysburg, where he was a part of Thomas' brigade, so I don't think there's anything to be ashamed about. Thousands of men were returning home that winter - Henry just happened to get caught.
