My gg grandfather Henry F. Evans enlisted as a Private in Co. F, 24th Regiment, Missouri Volunteer Infantry at Rolla, Missouri, Aug. 20 1861 for 3 years. He was discharged from service in St. Louis, Oct. 15, 1864. Later, he, then his widow drew a pension. Thanks for the info that was posted. Since Evans was in Co. F, the Pontooners, I wonder if anyone has any info about where and when Co. F actually did build pontoon bridges. The 24th Missouri web page has company rosters and pictures of typical pontoons. 'Tis a privilege to live in the Ozarks! _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!
