Manassas with a musket. General Bonham, in command of the brigade,
detailed him for scouting duty in and near Alexandria and Washington,
and he had many thrilling adventures and narrow escapes in the
discharge of those duties. In October, 1861, Lieutenant R.H. Rogers,
of his company, resigned, and Private Harllee was elected Second
Lieutenant in his stead. At the reorganization of the regiment and
companies, in April, 1862, he was elected Captain of his company,
which he commanded to the surrender. He was several times severely

battle-scarred veteran. He was regarded by all his comrades as a
daring and intrepid officer.
He lives upon his plantation, near Little Rock, where he was born and
reared, is a bachelor, a professional farmer, and one of the leading
citizens of his section of the State.
