Dr. Canon was a civil war Dr.Many doctors were used just for doctoring and nursing but Dr. Canon was also a leader.His leadership was attested to at the dedication of a Conferate monument at Livingston,Tx, by Judge Hill.Judge Hill said, "He fell at[at Mansfield], pierced by 3 Federal bullets but he cried out from the ground for his men to "charge".In all, he was wounded 5 times during the war.
