Danley is Wounded

Among those now working as aides to the generals were Arkansans Borland and Captain C. C. Danley. After the fall of Chapultepec, Danley, an aide to General John Anthony Quitman, carried orders for Quitman’s troops to push on to the Belén Gate, the entrance to Mexico City itself. After delivering the orders “through a galling fire,” Danley was wounded in the knee.
