List members: Most of those who have been members of the Raleigh County list, for a while, know that a passion of mine is the Civil War & especially how it affected Raleigh County & those who served from Raleigh. Don't matter if it was for the North or South. Don't matter if it was for the Cavalry, Infantry or Home Guard. The stories of bushwhacking, while horrendous, give us an idea of how things were in our beloved Raleigh during this conflict. And some of this research spills over into other counties. People from Raleigh served in units from Wyoming & Mercer counties of WV and left Raleigh to serve in units from Franklin & Floyd of the Commonwealth. I will attempt to answer any query dealing with "Raleigh County in the Civil War." Feel free to tell us Civil War stories, even if they are just a mention of your ancestor & his unit. That small bit of information might mean something to someone. Who knows, you might meet a cousin along the way. And your truly will enjoy reading them all! I look forward to discussing our Raleigh County families. Sincerely, Mike Peters [email protected]
