Good sourcing on the cost of fish and other goods though for those interested in such campaign details.

I'll let you know to arrange a pick up. <br /><br />On topic, my grandfather's grandfather, Samuel Hingley went south to Boston seeking adventure during the Civil War and joined the 3rd Reg. New Hampshire Volunteers. This is a link to his life experiences expressed in his own words...<br /><br />http://personal.nbnet.nb.ca/jrose/hingley/hingley.htm<br /><br />The narrative starts in 1863 and isn't too long.rhingleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084435959839601918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-55078123075342946322012-10-04T08:34:13.080-03:002012-10-04T08:34:13.080-03:00Ross, I am honored by your update.
For the record...Ross, I am honored by your update.<br /><br />For the record, my ancestor with the 23rd Georgia was Captain John Leander Steele . . . and I have his "mustache cup" (like a fine china coffee cup with an extra piece on top to protect the mustache while your drink).<br /><br /><br />-- Jeff<br />Bluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05171345165563779232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-92061532722376264482012-10-04T02:43:45.842-03:002012-10-04T02:43:45.842-03:00I had four ancestors who fought in the "War o...I had four ancestors who fought in the "War of Northern Aggression" . . . i.e, they were Confederates . . . so when I did a little ACW gaming 25-30 years ago I created a brigade of the units they served in:<br /><br />2nd Arkansas<br />23rd Georgia<br />57th Virginia<br />19th Texas Cavalry <br /><br />I based the last of these as dismounted. They actually weren't really involved in the war, they were used against the Indians . . . although one of my ancestors, John Henry Hudelson, was discharged due to injuries during the war, they were not from combat but rather because his leg was severely broken during a regimental wrestling match.<br /><br />I like your choice of a solution since I doubt that you have any real connection to any units like I do.<br /><br /><br />-- Jeff<br />Bluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05171345165563779232noreply@blogger.com
