Actually I did a review of that book several years ago for a local (now defunct) CW newspaper. It is a great book. Though fiction, it was based on Hinman's experiences in the CW.

Have been reading Ambrose Bierce's stories and found them very good.

Looking for information on what the 'Ninth Ward Pioneer Crops" is. On March 9, 1912 they had an Annual Dinner at the New York Athletic Club. The Menu I have indicates two dates on top of the Menu Card which I think are specific to the Ninth Ward Pioneer Corps... 1876 and 1912. There are13 original signatures on the card. I am aware there is something called the Pioneer Crops or Pioneer Brigade from the Civil War (construction engineers) but do not know if this is one and the same, nor do I know what the 'Ninth Ward' has to do with it. My search on the Internet did turn up the following "Benjamin Harrison-Morton Ninth Ward Pioneer Corps Inauguration Ribbon, 1889" as an item in the Susan H Douglas Americana Collection at the Cornell University Library. Benjamin Harrison was the 23d President of the United States (1889-93),

Ann, I haven't been very active lately due to the fact that is seems I've had one doctor appointment after the other. I've also noticed the inactivity and do hope things will start hopping again. Maybe everyone is out working on a suntan doing yardwork, but with the heat, it seems like everything in the yard would be just about DEAD! LOL Edward

In the Sunday edition of the Washington Daily News, there was an interesting article I wanted to share the list members. I thought some of y'all might enjoy this....... Edward Harding Washington, NC http://ehardingwbtsancestors.homestead.com/Index.html Historians Slowly Unravel Fayetteville Arsenal's Secrets By Don Worthington / The Fayetteville Observer The mystery of the Fayetteville Arsenal continues to intrigue historians 141 years after Union Gen. William Sherman ordered it destroyed. Historians cull clues about the arsenal's past from letters, maps and reports filed and forgotten in museums and archives. They scan online auctions looking for period letters and other accounts. A letter listing the names of Civil War armorers arriving at or leaving Fayetteville can generate much interest. Imagine the excitement when historians can wrap their hands - carefully protected by white gloves - around a clue. Historians at the Museum of the Cape Fear are doing just that as they study a rifle made here in 1861 and an artist's interpretation of what was left after the Yankees burned the arsenal in 1865. The challenge is to take these artifacts and "give them life, connect them to a face or a person," said David Reid, the museum's administrator. Arsenal workers made more than 10,000 rifles during the Civil War. The museum! already had two Fayetteville rifles, one made in 1862, the other in 1864. The recently acquired 1861 rifle has subtle differences from its counterparts. It is missing the stamp "Fayetteville, CSA" found on later models. And the rifle-maker's allegiances are evident on the butt plate at the end of the stock. The plate was originally stamped with the letters "U.S." at the Harper Ferry arsenal. A worker at the Fayetteville arsenal stamped a "C" over the "U." What intrigues museum staff members the most are the initials cut or scratched into the rifle's wooden stock. "J.A." is neatly carved into the rifle's stock. Near the firing mechanism are fainter scratchings. There are the initials "PB," most likely Phillip Burkhart, the master armorer at the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry. He followed the arsenal's machinery from Virginia to North Carolina. Even fainter are the initials "A.M." and either "51" or "57 NC." Museum historians are searching records of the 51st and! 57th North Carolina regiments to find matches for the initials. The 51st was formed in Wilmington and included men from Cumberland, Columbus, Robeson, Sampson, and adjoining counties. The 57th was formed in Salisbury. Both units saw extensive action in the Carolinas as well as Virginia. The 51st was among the units at Fort Wagner outside Charleston. Soldiers from the 51st helped repel the attack of the 54th Massachusetts, the all-black regiment featured in the movie "Glory." The museum purchased the 1861 rifle from a dealer in New Bern for about $12,500. It awaits work at the North Carolina Museum of History, where dirt and rust will be removed. The rifle will then return to the Museum of the Cape Fear. Museum officials hope to revamp their Civil War displays to include more information on the arsenal. "Our goal is to show how the rifle was produced, how it changed during the war," Reid said. Museum officials also hope to find more clues about how the Confederate! s expanded the arsenal, adding blacksmith and carpentry shops and other munition operations. "This was the Fort Bragg of its time," Reid said. When Sherman captured Fayetteville in March 1865, he ordered: "I will destroy the arsenal utterly. Since I cannot leave a guard to hold it, I therefore shall burn it, blow it up with gunpowder and then with rams knock down its walls." Accounts of the time suggest his troops followed his orders. When Nena Morrow sat down to paint her version of the destroyed arsenal, she took some artistic liberties. She painted a single tower still standing, surrounded by several trees. The painting has been part of the North Carolina Museum of History's collection since 1913. It is one of two Morrow paintings the museum owns.
