Rebyll's Confederate Homepage
Last updated March 4, 2006
PLEASE READ
Howdy. I'm rebyll. Welcome to my first
attempt at a
homepage. Hope ya'll like it. I'll be
adding things
constantly as I find the time. The bold
or yellow text will take you to other
pages. I'm a
born
and bred
Southerner from North Carolina. I am
also a proud member of the
Sons
of Confederate Veterans, Camp 760, the
Goldsboro Rifles.
My Great
Great
Grandfathers served in
Co.C of the 27th N.C. troops.
Private Henry Sutton (maternal
grandfather) was
killed, and Private
Bartholemew Fields (paternal
grandfather) lost a leg
at the
Battle of Sharpsburg
...or Antietam as the Yankees called
it.(hahaha) In 1971 my
brother and I found a box of letters
Grandaddy Henry
wrote home during the War. Among them we
found
one from his Commanding Officer, Col.
George Whitfield, informing his wife
that Henry was missing in action and
presumed dead. A few years ago my
brother and I took a trip to
Antietam
National Battlefield Park
and using the
information in that letter and with a
helpful Park Ranger's assistance with
his topographical maps showing hourly
troop
movements, along with a manuscript by
Hardy Z. Bogue
"The 27th N.C. at Sharpsburg",
we were able to narrow down
to within a few hundred yards of where
we believe Henry to have fallen during the 27th's heroic charge during the battle. So you
can see why this subject is very dear to
me. Here you can read transcripts of Henrys letters home to his wife and father and a breif summary of Mr. Bouges manuscript. The letters are all in cronological order and easy to follow along with the events in manuscript.
I have just added a drop down menu
that'll take you to some of my other
pages for your convenience. In there you will find my Lynyrd Skynyrd page and my Dale Earnhardt page.
So enjoy and feel free to e-mail me if
you have any questions, and please
remember to sign my guestbook.
Deo Vindice.

Your page on the South and the 27th N.C.
looks really nice. A fine effort,
especially so since you indicate this is
your first try. Your letters from a
couple of the soldiers are interesting
touches to any WBTS site, and well worth
the look.
