#8: Defying All Logic
Jacob Miller’s incredible tale from the Civil War is nothing short of astounding. In the midst of the chaos and brutality of the Battle of Chickamauga in 1863, he endured a headshot that should have been fatal. In a plot twist that even Hollywood screenwriters might find too far-fetched, Jacob miraculously regained consciousness.
Initially declared deceased, his eventual meeting with his family two months later must have felt like a miracle. Although there are plenty of heroic tales from the Civil War that probably defy the laws of logic, Jacob’s tale is truly one of a kind. Learning that after all this he went on to marry and have a family is the cherry on top of this mind-blowing story.
