My Great Grandfather enlisted in the Georgis Infantry at age 20 and fought in the several battles around Atlanta and was wounded in the Battle of Franklin, TN
and captured a few days later at Pulaski, TN, taken as a POW to Camp Chase, Ohio where he was held until shortly after the war ended. His Father served in the US Army during the Mexican War 1845-1847 and died there, no one knows where he is buried.
When I was younger I was a member of the SCV , Sons of Confederate Veterans, and was in many Civil War re-enactments in and around Granbury, TX and at Pea Ridge, AK...In one artillery outfit with a mountain howitzer aqnd later in an Infantry outfit...A real name for that war should be "The War For Southern Independence" and I didn;t know that d--nyankee was two words intil I was about 21 years old ! God Bless Texas !
