Daniel joined the Confederate Army March 18, 1862 in Pochontas, Arkansas. Daniel served in the 30th Infantry which later became the 25th Company A. Daniel was captured at the Battle of Stone's River near Murfeeboro, Tennessee on Dec 31, 1862 and sent to Camp Douglas in Chicago, Illinois. Daniel was released after a prisoner exchange and he returned to his company Aug 5, 1863. There he asked for a 45 day furlough to Arkansas and didn't return.
