Rhondina: If I were the quick-draw suing type, I know I would have a case. It looks like Mr. Mitchell copied entire pages and published them in his own book--same fonts, same layout. I remember taking several days alphabetizing the names of members of the Sixth Tennessee Cavalry by company--and he copied the pages and put them into his book, making it look like his own work! (He even left my header, "Appendix A Regimental Roster") I've been told I should sue, but I haven't been able to track him down (I know he lives in Bethel Springs). But the picture of him in the back of his book shows he's an old man, so maybe he didn't know any better. Still, I would like to write him a letter and warn him that the next author he plagarizes from may not be as forgiving as I am. Mary: It's been several years since I did research on my McCann line, but Mose McCann's family does branch from my own. I'll look back through my book and send you an e-mail with the particulars, unless there's anyone else on the mailing list interesed as well. For anyone interested in a copy of my book "Hurst's Wurst," I'm working on a revision with some new details about why Fielding Hurst may have been as mean and vindictive as he is portrayed. If anyone with family members who served in the Sixth Tennessee has information to share about their ancestor's war experiences, please contact me. Or if your families as Unionists suffered at the hands of bushwackers or Confederate soldiers or neighbors, please contact me too. Thanks! Kevin McCann

Kevin, Put me down for a copy of your book when you get it redone. I had several family members in Capt. Charles Sevier Robertson's Cavalry Company, "Hardin County Yankee Hunters." Until Shiloh, they operated out of Henderson Station, scouting in Hardin and Wayne County east of the Tennessee River and the counties in the southeast part of West Tennessee. Some of these men transferred to the 52nd Tennessee Infantry. After Shiloh, Robertson's Company became "G" Co. of the First Confederate Cavalry Regiment. Much later, many of these men in the 52nd and Co. G of the First, became members of the 21st "Wilson's" Tennessee Cavalry Regiment of Forrest Cavalry Corps. Company "A" under Capt J. A. Russell, Co. "B" under Capt. Ezekiel D. Polk and Co. "H" under Capt. W. B. Hays. According to "The Bugger Saga" by Wade Pruitt, Hays carried out his own little war in Wayne and Hardin Co. in TN and Lauderdale Co. in AL, much like Hurst in West Tennessee. I think Bert was number one on the Union list of the most wanted for a while.
