Hello, I am writing a manuscript about the soldiers who served in the 58th Virginia Regiment during the Civil War. So far I have identified over four hundred members of this regiment. These men were all from Bedford and Franklin Counties, Virginia. Most were related to their fellow soldiers. Many were brothers, father and son, cousins, etc. The name of the soldier has been identified as serving in the 58th. I am maintaining a database spread sheet file on all members. I will gladly send you what information I have on this individual if you would like. Also, if you have an ancestor which you believe may have served in the 58th let me know and I will tell you what my data base shows. If you are a descendant of the soldier whose name is listed above, please share with me information such as: family history or other relatives in this unit, a description, if available, of the individual, any of his personal experiences in the War which have either been handled down or of which you have records. Your assistance will enable me to bring these men to life again in my manuscript. Thank you, Luther McLain, Phoenix, AZ, native of Bedford County VA
