According to Thomas M. Divins (a close friend of Anthony McKinney and who was also in Company K) as told to Brainard McKinney, his grandson; Anthony was "was a sharp shooter, and a darn good one". "In one instance, Anthony picked off a Confederate sharp shooter out of a tree where he was hiding. Company K was unable to move forward and Anthony figured out where he was hiding by noticing Tulip leaves on a Hickory tree. The Confederate was hiding in a Hickory tree and and had covered himself with the wrong kind of leaves. It only took one shot and Company K then moved forward."
