Edward Looks like Hurricane Isabel got us, I tore up an arm cranking generator for over a week. Hope we both get better. Do you know anything about 26th Va Infantry assigned to North Carolina Elzey`s Corp Wise`s Brigade. Reading in war of the rebellion Gen Marshall when raising troops for 26th said he would get troops from were ever he could Buchanan,Co Russell,Co ( VA ), I am tracing a person from Buchanan,Co Va I know he was with NC troops at Chancelorsville Thanks Charlie > Hi List, > > After having elbow surgery in August and being "wounded in action" for a while, I thought I was on the road to a good recovery, but due to Hurricane Isabel coming a couple of months ago, I had to do some things I shouldn't have done to get ready, which set me back about a month as far as recovery time. While doing some of these things, it seems I messed up a major nerve in my arm. I saw a neurologist last week and had an EMG done, and learned just what I did. The outer portion of my right hand, pinkie finger, and right ring finger tend to fall asleep and stay numb for a long time, and it's made it hard to type, plus I'm also pretty clumsy now and dropping things. The nerve has not suffered major damage yet, but if not surgically repaired and repositioned, it will happen. So, after the first part of December (when I'll have more surgery), I'll be "wounded in action" again, as Alice called it last time. I'm trying to do all the lookups I can for people now, but I'm just ! > a bit slow. So, I hope y'all with bear with me and my tardiness should anyone write to ask about any information I can help with. > > I hear Mary Frank is doing fairly well after her recent surgery, and she's been most appreciative to hear from everyone who has written. Her daughter, Elizabeth, has been sending out some updates on her condition. If anyone would like to send her their best wishes on a speedy recovery, you can email her at maryfrank@the-i.net > > On a better note, I just received the most beautiful collector's plate that saw advertised by the Bradford Exchange. The name of the plate is "Pride of the South," and is the first issue in the "Leaders of the Confederacy" collection by John Paul Strain. Being Southern, I just had to have this, and I'm looking forward to collecting the entire series of these plates. > > I hope all of you are doing well, and as always, if I can ever be of any help to anyone, especially regarding Confederate soldiers from North Carolina, please let me know. I'm always glad to help anyone I can. > > Edward > > > ==== CIVIL-WAR Mailing List ==== > To search our list archives since 1996, go to > http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl > and enter Civil-War in the list name > > --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Hi Charlie, I wish I had information on what you're looking for, but unfortunately I don't. The detailed information I have on Regiments, Companies, and Soldiers is mainly from the State of North Carolina. I have a few books on some Virginia Regiments, but the 26th is not one of them. I'll keep a lookout for information on the 26th, and should I find anything, I'll be sure to let you know. I hope your arm is doing better. Part of what I did to mess mine back up was also cranking a generator for a few days. I sure was glad to see the power come back on! Edward
