There is no other legend quite like the Confederate fighting man. He reached the end of his haunted road long ago. He fought for a star-crossed cause and in the end he was beaten, but as he carried his slashed red battle flag into the dusky twilight of the Lost Cause he marched straight into a legend that will live as long as the American people care to remember anything about the American past.

Researcher Note:
Janet and I had 14 ancestors who fought in the Civil War, all for the Confederacy. They were from Alabama, Arkansas, North Carolina, and Tennessee. These pages contain the results of my research of these ancestors and include unit histories, exerpts from the Official Records, and other information I have been able to collect. Enjoy…
