In The Southern Soldier Boy: A Thousand Shots for the Confederacy, James Elliott wrote that Lawson "brought down several of the bravest Yankees at close range. The Yankee who took Bridges' gun said, ' You've been using it; it is pretty hot." Bridges replied 'Yes, I got it from you and have made the best use of it I could. You can have it; I reckon it belongs to you."
