Ap1405, this person is likely notable by our standards--that's the good news. The bad news? Well, you got three sentences and one single website for a source, and findagrave.com isn't even accepted here as a reliable source (see WP:RS). There is much more information to be found on this man; it took me just a few minutes to find and read this--an opinion piece, but published in a good newspaper. And thus we discover that this man was part of the group called the Andrews Raiders--this is not found in your article.

Moreover, the requirement was that this article cite books as references, and there is nothing to be found in books on your man (besides the Congressional records, which are pretty useless for encyclopedic writing). In other words, this will not suffice. Now, you can finish this article, which can be done in less than an hour and which will certainly help your grade, but it will not, no matter how fine it looks, garner you a decent grade for the final assignment.
