Brigadier General 39 From NE Georgia - SC

I have been studying the people of the war since I was able to read. I remember even in school I was always more fascinated by the people of the war then the actual battles. About 7 years ago I started a project to visit all of the Confederate General graves over the years I have added Surgeons, Statesmen, Colonels and Naval Officers as well as Union Generals. I hope one day to turn my project into a book. I have visited graves in the snow (trust me Hollywood Cemetery is not easy in the snow) I have visited the graves in the rain sometimes even when its flooding. I do this to honor these people they are like friends to me. This is the second Civil War website I have been a member of as I use to be a member of the civil war chatroom site. This site here means a lot to me I take every opportunity I can to share information. Civil War History means a lot to me. I am happy to always meet other people who enjoy it as much as I do. I recently started a study of the 16th South Carolina Infantry Regiment.
