Hi, Reading through a couple of Southern Claims cases, two men of the 1st Regiment, Mississippi Light Artillery testified that they hired substitutes to replace them. Would there be any documents of these substitutions? What would be the process of acquiring a sub? Did you look among your friends and family and inquire -- were there a group of men who volunteered just for this purpose?
