HAPPY 29K HITS, EMWS!!!!! A quote from Colonel Edward Bacon, 6th Michigan Volunteers, describing one day during the siege of Port Hudson, Louisiana, 1863: "Along the enemy's fortifications the dingy-clad soldiers show themselves, some sitting lazily on their parapet watching us. With a spy-glass I take a good view of these Rebel soldiers. Here, not over 300 yards from me, sits one of the Rebel defenders of Port Hudson. He wears a slouched hat, a dingy gray shirt, and pants of the same color; his hunter's bullet pouch and powder horn are hung across his breast in backwoods style; his feet are bare, and as he gazes at us silently he reminds us of Daniel Boone."

I am researching John BYFORD, private in 19th Dawson's Arkansas Infantry, CSA, Company B (also listed as John BYFIELD). He was captured and became ill and, I believe, discharged. He never fully recovered. Family lore has it that he entered a mental fac lity in Washington. Unknown if that means Arkansas or D. C. Any information regarding this facility would be greatly appreciated. Please contact me by e-mail. Thanks.

BELATED HAPPY 26K HITS, EMWS!!!! -- from the narrative of Pvt. Jno. O. Casler, Co. A, 33d VA Inf., describing the carnage after the battle of Chancellorsville, VA, May 1863: "The dead and badly wounded from both sides were lying where they fell. The wood , taking fire that night from the shells, burnt rapidly and roasted the wounded men alive. As we went to bury them we could see where they had tried to keep the fire from them by scratching the leaves away as far as they could reach. But it availed not; they were burnt to a crisp. The only way we could tell to which army they belonged was by turning them over and examining their clothing where they lay close to the ground. There...we could see whether they wore the blue or grey. We buried them all alik by covering them up with dirt where they lay. It was the most sickening sight I saw during the war, and I wondered whether the American people were civilized or not, to butcher one another in that manner; and I came to the conclusion that we were barbar ans, North and South alike."

BELATED HAPPY 25K HITS, EMWS!!!!!! Obscure historical fact (tm.) -- During the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia by General Robert E. Lee at Appomattox in April of 1865, General Lee noticed an uniformed aide to General U.S. Grant, Colonel (later General) Ely S. Parker - a full-blooded Seneca Indian from NY state. General Lee supposedly addressed him: "I am glad to see there is at least one real American here." To which Colonel Parker replied, "We are ALL Americans here today." Colonel Parker w ote out the actual documents of surrender agreed to by Generals Lee and Grant that day in 1865.

Neese, Chew's Virginia Battery, Robertson's Brigade: "Ah, my silent friends! You came down here to invade out homes and teach us how to wear the chains of subordination and reverence a violated constitution. In the name of Dixie we bid you welcome to your dreamless couch under the sod that drank your bloo , and may God have mercy on your poor souls and forgive you for all the despicable depredations that you committed since you crossed the Potomac."

IN CELEBRATION OF 20K HITS FOR THE EMWS!!!!!!! The following is an excerpt from Walt Whitman's "Memoranda During The War" (1875): "The War, though with two sides, really ONE IDENTITY (as struggles, furious conflicts of Nature, for final harmony.) - The Soil it bred and ripen'd from - the North as responsible for it as the South. - Of the War of Attempted Secession - the greatest Nat onal event of the first Century of the United States, and one among the great events of all Centuries - the main points of its origin, and the conditions out of which it arose, are full of lessons, full of warnings yet to the Republic, and always will be. The underlying and principal of those points are yet singularly ignored. The Northern States were really just as responsible for that War, (in its precedents, foundations, instigations,) as the South." "As to slavery, abstractly and practically, (its idea, and the determination to establish and expand it, especially in the new Territories, the future America,) it is too common, I say, to identify it exclusively with the South. In fact down to the openi g of the War, the whole country had about an equal hand in it. The North had at least been just as guilty, if not more guilty; and the East and West had. The former Presidents and Congresses had been guilty - the Governors and Legislatures of every Nort ern State had been guilty, and the Mayors of New York and other northern cities had all been guilty - their hands were all stain'd."

My great great grandfather David Griffin was in the Civil War. he lived in Lafayette Co. Arkansas and went across the border into Texas and joined Company D of the 19th Regiment of Texas Infantry. He died 17th or 19th Nov. 1862 in Arkadelphia. I don't kno if from wounds or illness. His personel effects were sent home by Capt.C.S Marshall from Camp Bayou Meto, Ark. His widow was Ann Eliza (Stuckey) Griffin. His daughter Sarah Jane Griffin was my Great Grandma. Does any one have any info. on Camp Bayou Me o? or any battles there? or a hospital in Arkadelphia? He had been listed at home ill in Sept. & Oct. and reported dead 17th Nov. home was in Lafayette Co, Ark. probably 75 or 100 miles away. Perhaps he had recovered and returned to the fighting? why did e die in Arkadelphia in Clark Co.? can anyone help me unravel this mystery? Thanks, Charlene Peel

The brave men who struggl d here have consecrated this website far above our poor power to add or detract. It is for us, the living, to dedicate here to the unfinished work which they who fought have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the gre t task remaining before us descendants of these individuals - that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave their last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died i vain - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not perish from the earth! (apologies to Uncle Abe)

Re: HM Stanley John Rowlands was not adopted by Henry Hope Stanley; he simply started calling himself Henry Stanley, adding Morton later. Rowlands fell out with the Stanleys, as he did with almost everyone (except Livingstone who incidentally lost one of his sons in the Civil War), but continued to use the assumed name throughout the remainder of his incredible life.

Nice site. I am news editor at the Texarkana Gazette and designed the Phantom Killer at 50 tab. There is a photo of the main suspect, Youell Swinney, in the tab. He is the slight fellow standing in the middle of a group of police. He is not identified, al hough he has been dead for a while.

Nice site. My little brother Ian is a re-enactor for the 12th South Carolina/4th Michigan. His url is http://www.oocities.org/nashville/opry/1402 His email address is ians_rebel_heart@hotmail.com Some of the events my family always attends are Jackson, MI, Lawton, MI, and Hastings, MI. We've also been to Shilo, TN, and this year Ian made the long trip to Gettysburg. He's only 16, but he's been re-enacting for about 5 years. He is definitely "in o" the civil war. I'm going to tell him about your site, and I know that he would appreciate you checking out his. He is kind of new to cyberspace.

I don't have time tonight, but I will send a brief descendant tree in a few days to see if there might be some connection. Sincerely, Albert

HAPPY FIRST ANNIVERSARY, ENLISTED MAN'S WEB SITE!!!!!!!! As an addendum, a quote without comment from the book by Jim Cullen _The Civil War in Popular Culture; A Reusable Past_ (1995): ".....history as communion has unique strengths that have been too often overlooked or denigrated by academic historians -- even when they unconsciously embrace it. A frank acceptance of these dimensions of history can be used to contest or revise some o the more dangerous or repugnant configurations of the past." (page 5)

I am still searching for info on my great - great grandfather, William Earnest Weaters. All I know is that he lived and was discharged from service in Alabama. If you find any info o him or know of any other good websights, please leave a memo for me in the guest book. Thanx!
