…. Yeah … had to shoot them twice from what I understand lol

The 32nd Alabama Infantry fought from Chickamauga to Nashville. They were the unit atop Missionary Ridge when Sherman broke out of Chattanooga. My ggg grandfather Cpl Malcom McLeod was lost in that battle, his brother Cpt Daniel McLeod was there and lost a son and son in law in addition to his brother. Matter of fact because the regiment was raised by county each company was more or less made up of kinsmen and cousins. Missionary Ridge left alot of widows in Clarke county, Alabama. They were consolidated with the 58th Alabama Infantry for the remainder of the war and finally mustered out at Spanish Fort on the Eastern Shore on Mobile Bay.

BTW, I recently learned that landmines were used by the confederacy in the battles at Spanish Fort and Blakely. They were 12 pounder shells equipped with a pressure detonator. Only known from there and Savannah. Shame they weren't developed earlier.

All of us with early descendants that have been fighting and dying for this country from the beginning are probably all related somehow.

…. Oh no ….. now you’re related to Kieth lol

His post says that but I dont see the connection in the family tree.

…. Pick cotton and eat fried chicken … or be eaten yourself …. They were probably lining up at the docks lol
