Apparently, I am one of the lucky ones. I was able to purchase a copy of Griffin's book a few years ago. My quest for now is the a book by Preston Ledford called "REMINISCENCES OF THE CIVIL WAR,1861-1865." The book is about the 14th NCST, a unit in which I had a relative. Company D of the 14th was the "Cleveland Blues," being r aised there in Cleveland (i.e. Rutherford/Old Tryon) County. I have requested the book on Interlibrary loan and may get to see a copy yet. It's tough to find good Rutherford County stuff out here in the WEst! James Stone
