If your great great great grandfather
was from Alabama and was an officer in the Confederate Army, he
might be found in this excerpt taken from Alabama: Her History,
Resources, War Record and Public Men by W. Brewer, originally
published in 1872. The spiral bound booklet is 8 1/2 x 11"
and is printed on 60# paper. A vinyl sheet protects the front cover.
After "Preliminary Observations
and a brief section on the War with Mexico, the booklet gives the
history of each Alabama unit organized during the War Between the
States, beginning with the First Alabama (Infantry). The booklet
tells where each unit was organized, a brief history and the names
of the "Field and Staff" officers, indicating what town
or county they came from, and what happened to them while in the
particular command where the name is found, such as "promoted,"
"resigned," "wounded at Gettysburg" or "died
at Richmond."
Wouldn't this make a unique
gift?
