Captain Frank Gurley, was a confederate veteran and confidential assistant of General Forrest. Captain Frank Gurley was said to be one of the most noted guerrilla chiefs of this region during the civil war. To quote the editor of the Gurley Herald, G. T. Shelley, in 1909 who said "Captain Gurley's soldier life was a varied and checkered one, full of heroism, tragedy and pathos from beginning to end. No braver or truer soldier shouldered a gun in the south that our own Captain Frank B. Gurley."
