He was captured at Arkansas Post on January 10, 1863, and became
sick with pneumonia while captive. He was sent to City Point,
Virginia, on April 29, 1863, to be exchanged, and he became a field
officer of the combined 6th, 10th, and 15th regiments and fought at
Chickamauga where Sanders was seriously wounded in his right arm
leading to amputation. He retired from service on September 6, 1864.
He moved to Bandera, Texas, and served as the postmaster from
1893 to 1897 and later as the county treasurer. In a list of Bandera
County sheriffs covering 1856 to 1904, Sanders is listed as the sheriff
in 1888-1892. He was followed by L.W. Stevens who served until 1900
and then Thomas Marion York who served as sheriff until 1904.

wrist, and minor wear. Mechanically fine. The badges are very good
with minor wear mostly from age. The scabbard is also very good
with some mild wear.
