To those who often claim the South was overwhelmed by foreign hordes in Union service, please check out the following book. http://www.cw-book-news.com/release%...oreigners.html
Then go to Amazon.com link at the bottom of the page, and read the reviews and the first pages of the book itself. It states that there were a LOT of foreign-born folks in the armies of the Confederacy.
