RR, just so you don't think I am against the Confederacy, here is an ancestor of mine. I have many ancestors in both the Union and Confederate Army. Many were privates, some Captains, some Majors, and even several Colonels on both sides.

Col. 1st Ga Cav, Co B.; CSA

From the book CONFEDERATE COLONELS courtsey of Bruce Allardice.

I have not yet found it, but I had another ancestor that fought in an Indian (?) War in Ohio and a large statue was erected for him, ( or it was part of his grave, don't know until I find the picture again ).
