There has been a little activity of late on the Civil War List re various Civil War outfits, where they fought, etc. I don't want to be left out. I had three great grandfathers in the First Confederate Cavalry Regiment. This unit of KY, AL and TN companies was apparently established, at least on paper, on or about the 1st of April 1862. However, the pieces were not brought together until after the Battle of Shiloh. There were 4 companies from KY, two from AL which were quickly transfered to Roddey's 4th AL, 4 original TN companies and two additional TN companies to replace those that went to AL. Those from TN were: Co. E, Haywood-Lauderdale Co. F, Shelby-Henry Co. G, Hardin Co. H, White-Vanburen Co. I, Shelby Co. K, Hamilton Before consolidation, I suppose all these TN companies were Independent like Co. G from Hardin Co. I am trying to write a unit history of G Company and would like to Discuss the First Confederate Cavalry with anyone interested. Thanks, David

Hello, I need information on the 18th VA Cavalry. I would like to know if someone can tell me what battle this unit was involved in. Thanks. Rhonda Guilliams Great Great GrandDaughter of Samuel F. Ginger member of the 18th VA Cavalry, 62nd VA Infantry, and 25th VA Infantry

I do apologize for so many emails, I don't know why the link is not attaching, however, here is the URL to the first page. http://hometown.aol.com/ldsed/seventeenthgaindex.html I hope this works. Thank you. Linda

To the list, I apologize for the previous message being so messed up. I was trying to send a link to my website, which is: THE 17th GEORGIA INFANTRY REGIMENT Thank you. Linda

To all the lists members: I am trying to get the word out that I am writing a Regimental History on the 17th Ga. Infantry and have updated my website. I have a roster of each company up to Company H. I will try to get that completed by this evening. I realize men might not have enlisted in this regiment from your county/state, however, since relatives moved on to other counties after the war, there could be a chance your ancestor served in this unit. Please take the time to check my website, and if you find a name you are connected to, feel free to email me at LDSED@aol.com for submitting information, photos, brief genealogy or interesting family stories, to be included in my book. More information about the book here: THE 17th GEORGIA INFANTRY REGIMENT Regards, Linda Snow Davis

Hi all, I ran across the following while looking for information on my ancestor Thomas B Mitchel (1815-1879) of Whitfield Co. GA. I do not know if this is him or not. Does anyone know anything about the "Georgia Nitre and Mining Bureau" ? The NPS lists only 4 persons in the unit: Pvt..J.H. Allen Pvt..Thomas Mitchel J. H. Walker Pvt.. W. Wells Keith Bailey

Amoung the enlisted men in the Union army, only cavalrymen, sergents,some artillerymen and musicians were issused swords. nearly all regulation swords carried by union soldiers were patterned on weapons of the French army. Enlisted men's swords were made by private American Firms ---primally the Ames Manufacturing Co, of Chicopee, Massachusetts or purchased abroad. European manufactrers provided the majority of the Officer's blades which were based on an 1850 pattern. Throughout the Civil War grateful groups of citizens and loyal military suborgroups of citizens gave specially made presentation swords to Officers as tokens of recongnition for exceptional service or symbols of general esteem. For the most part, howeveer, these highly ornated, costly andusually impratical swords were worn for formal occasions only.

Can anyone point me to a resource for information on Union Officer's swords? I need to know things like- were they issued, or purchased by the soldiers? And was there a standard style, or were they individual to the soldiers? Thanks for any assistance.
