Be sure to include in your book the story about Elijah Newton Hanks, called Newton, and his nephew Elijah Newton, called Elijah. Elijah moved to Kansas and joined the Union Army. Newt stayed in Maury and joined CSA. They met after a battle in KS while both sides were removing the dead from the field. They asked permission to visit a while and it was refused by both sides. They never saw each other again, far as I know. There's more on the site in the Dodson descendants about that, but it is not the full story.
