Remember Chattanooga was almost surrounded and was under siege, Lookout mountain and the cannon sites on the mountains to the east, could be of interest. Chickamauga covers a large area. By all means go to the Information center first and be get all the information you can. I drive around to the beginning of the battle and follow the course of the conflict, even if I have to backtrack. This helps me to see it from soldiers view point, after all they did the fighting. The generals directed and sometimes lost. Are you coming from the South? I found Kennesaw Mountain to be very interesting. I went to Andersonville, last July, would have liked to have met you. The POW Museum is worth the visit, alone.

Received from another list. COLUMBIA - While man's best friend surely deserves a comfortable bed, very few dogs get historic quilts on which to lay their weary old heads. One lucky dog got just that. Fortunately, his owner discovered the value of the 1863 silk-and-velvet cradle quilt - stitched by none other than Mrs. Robert E. Lee and Mrs. Jefferson Davis to raise funds for the Confederate Soldier's Relief Fund - and the valuable handiwork was saved from the doghouse. In fact, it will be the centerpiece for tomorrow's ''Airing of the Quilts,'' an exhibit of 36 handmade quilts that will be on display in the Athenaeum, 808 Athenaeum St., between West Seventh and West Eighth streets in Columbia. ''In 1977, an elderly Nashville widow gave the quilt to a Franklin man who had come to her house to see a gun,'' said Gay Anderson, who is coordinating the quilt show for the Athenaeum. ''When he was getting ready to go, she asked him if he had a dog,'' Anderson continued. ''She said she had an old quilt she wanted to get rid of and he could use it for his dog. ''When he got home, he opened the box and found this note in it,'' she said, holding up a piece of paper. The note described the quilt as being made by the Ladies of the Confederacy in Richmond, Va. According to the book Southern Quilts: Surviving Relics of the Civil War by Nashville quilting historian Bets Ramsey, Lee - wife of the Confederacy's chief general - and Davis, wife of its president - helped stitch the quilt in 1863. ''When they realized what they had,'' Anderson said of the gun-seeker, ''they called the woman back and she said, 'No one in my family wants it. Just give it to the dog.' '' The man, in turn, gave the quilt to the Carter House in Franklin. And the dog was stuck with his old blanket.

Keith Here is what I could find I hope it may help some John Thompson George W. Stubbs Residence DeKalb County GA; Enlisted on 9/26/1861 as a Jr 2nd Lieut.

Hi all, I am trying to determine the battle that 1st Lt. George W. Stubbs of CO K 38th GA INF was killed in and the location of his grave for a friend. The records show that he died near Winchester, VA , but I did not find him in the lists for Winchester National Cemetery. My thinking is that he was killed in the 2nd Battle of Kernstown on July 24, 1864, but I don't recall the exact date of his death. June or July? It is possible that he had predeceased this battle. Does anyone have access to records showing the date of his death, names of other battles (skirmishes) in the area, or nearby Soldier burials? Keith Bailey Gordon Co. GA

Be very cautious about items like this. There are many such items claimed to be Andersonville artifacts,,,,,including belt buckles , guard badges,,,and the like that appear on ebay that can easily be proven as fake.

Dad was a Sports Publicity Director for two major Southern Universities--Clemson and Univ. of Florida, which put him in charge of the Press Box at every football game. I could attend every game and roam the press box--free. My job was to pass sandwiches to the Sports Writers Growing up in the South in the 1940's and 50's was fun, even for a kid named Sherman. I was there when people stood while singing "Dixie" at all public events while the tune was played by a large band with spirit. All the while, a huge Confederate battle flag was waved before the croud. That scene happened at EVERY sporting event in the South and was repeated at every other public event. To us, it had everything to do with our homes and heritage and nothing to do with segregation or slavery, but I can now understand how others could see the gesture in a different light. At Some time, some place the tradition died. In 1952 my father accepted a job as Editor of the NCAA Bureau magazine in New York. That summer, a childhood best-friend from Gainesville, Florida came up by train and I met him at Grand Central Station. We were 13 and he was on his way to summer camp in CT. Yes, kids that age roamed the city back then! Mom had given me money to treat Charles to a show at Radio City Music Hall. Ironically during the stage show, the orchestra played "Dixie" as part of the show. On impulse, and without cracking a smile, Chrales and I stood up and begin singing. We looked around only to realize we were the only two standing in a packed house. It was there we first realized that not everyone in the world shared our heritage. Ed Sherman

This is on E-Bay Amount now about #129.00 e-Bay # 2195033778 Ends Oct-13-03 17:33:00 PDT Original, 1951, 1st Edition of the important Civil War reference book titled "Handbook of Confederate Swords" by William A. Albaugh and Richard D. Steuart. Published in Harriman, Tennessee, 1951. This fantastic reference volume measures approx. 6" x 9" and contains 128 pages chock full of line drawings of and information about the many different Swords used by Confederate Troops during the Civil War. This volume was considered the "bible" of the Confederate sword and it has been reprinted numerous times. This is the original, 1st Edition bound in pictorial paper wraps. It is in nice condition with some age toning and light wear to the stiff paper wraps and a bit of water staining to the final couple of pages. A fantastic Civil War Sword reference and a "must have" for the serious collector or Civil War Library!!! Could this be in some Library of a member? Richard Callard

Is the 19c60 or 18c60 engraved or caste in the metal? I would contact John Heiser, Historian, Gettysburg National Military Park. This is on e-Bay; price $14.50 Brass Civil War Belt Buckle Plate CSA Made of solid Brass with a gold brown patina finish, it measures 2 3/4" wide & 1 7/8" high Raised Letters Read: CSA This belt plate is an exact RENDITION of the belt plates worn by Civil war soldiers going into battle. This makes it suitable for authentic stage settings, major motion films, or school plays with plots inspired by Early American slave trade or Civil War. If you are a member of a reenactment unit this belt buckle would be a perfect addition to your uniform and gear collection. Constructed of solid brass with a gold brown antique finish. I would be very careful buying any item that is said to be Civil War Items.
