Surely most everyone on CWT is familiar with “Galvanized Yankees”
While looking through the CMSRs of men in the First Missouri Infantry (Riley’s) CS Army, I noticed that about 140 of the approx. 290 men who served in Co. A are listed as “Federal recruit mustered into C.S. service” or similar remarks. Their very brief records include their names being on a receipt roll for clothing in November 1864 for clothing.
Other than the 10th Tenn Cavalry, USA, which had a number of men to enlist in the CS Army in order to be released from Andersonville, I am not aware of any other groups of “Galvanized Rebels”
Has anyone else found any records of other “Galvanized Rebels?”
Does anyone out there have facts or information about the Galvanized Rebels in the First Missouri Inf. CS Army?
