Interesting reading that and looking at the battle map on the Civil War Trust site. The 22nd Alabama was in the area in front of The Hornet's Nest.

I knew my grandfather said it was in the area of the hornets nest.

It's quite possible that we are distant relatives. The way my father tells it,4 brothers immigrated from Europe to the U.S. in the 1700's. One settled in SC,1 in GA,1 in Arkansas and 1 in Texas. My ggg grandfather in the Texas branch had about 9 kids. Two of his sons served in Texas regiments. One of their brothers was my gg grandfather.
