This is really fantastic.. I had no idea where the info came from and would be most interested in the articles. I had at least 4 ancestors enlist from LCT. OBR Swaner, John W Carpenter, Jackson O Mitchell, and John Weaver. Would there be any in the TN Library & Archives? If they were on microfilm, maybe we could get them on loan to a major library closer to us. >From: "Dortha Greenlee" <[email protected]> >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [LCT] Confederate Veterans >Date: Fri, 18 Aug 2006 21:20:41 -0500 > >The "Confederate Veteran" was a small magazine that was published for >veterans.

Donna, The TN State Lib and Archives has the complete "original" Confederate Veteran Magazine, all original volumes. You can make copies as you please. The original CV Magazine was published from Murfreesboro TN by S. A. Cunningham of Shelbyville. Cunningham is buried in the Confederate Cemetery within the larger confines of Willow Mt Cemetery in Shelbyville.
