Thanks, Bruce, tremendous article! I have copied it for our genealogical library here in Kinder, Louisiana. I am publishing editor of our Society quarterly, and do many books and articles for our Library. Your work will be a tremendous asset for those researching the areas you covered, plus the genealogical significance of the peoples involved. People in this area (including me) have many ancestors who were lost in the Civil War, and particular at Vicksburg, MS. It is people like you who are helping preserve our unique heritage here in the South. Many thanks. Ethel
