Fountain R. Durrett (March 8, 1831 - ????) was the Second Missouri Cavalry (C.S.)'s surgeon. After the major fighting at Fort Pillow was done, Durrett and Lt. J.S. Hay (Col. Robert McCulloch's ordinance officer) found Hardy Revelle, a dry-goods merchant, and confiscated certain of his wares.

The fact that Revelle could subsequently remember Durrett and Hay's names saved him from being shot for pilfering.

Literary Comment[]

F.R. Durrett's recorded role in history appears limited to his time as surgeon for the Second Missouri Cavalry.
