There were thousands of black men who fought for the CSA. Unlike the Union Blacks soldiers who fought only in black units. The black Confederates fought side by side with the white's and Jew's. I just thought that by now, someone could identify this one.

They were usually treated by the Confederate surgeons just as tho they were soldiers. Perhaps the records of the Lynchburg hospital would have some information on him, if they can be found. Good luck in your search.
