From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My current goal is to write detailed articles about neglected aspects of the American Civil War, especially relating to units from Mississippi, and Southern Unionists. Despite the focus here, I am not a Lost Causer, and agree with my bro Grant's quote below. I just really dig history.

Articles created

  • Confederate Units:

"I felt like anything rather than rejoicing at the downfall of a foe who had fought so long and valiantly, and had suffered so much for a cause, though that cause was, I believe, one of the worst for which a people ever fought, and one for which there was the least excuse."

Ulysses S. Grant, Personal Memoirs


"We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth."

Abraham Lincoln, 1862
