I suppose I would want to be an infantry grunt with the ANV like some or most rather of my ancestors were although Wade Hampton's Cavalry or Mosby's command sounds inviting but then again riding with Forrest holds a great appeal. I wonder would I have survived (not all of my ancestors did) or been assigned to the home guard like one of my wounded in Virginia one legged ancestors was.
 
The one who fought the least, marched the least, was fed the most, was sheltered from the weather the most, and whose most serious injury to the troops was stubbed toes.

Sincerely,
Unionblue

Oh that one is truly precious UB. Chuckle...
 
They all sounded like they would have been awful experiences no matter where you went.

Imagine how many young men rushed to enlist early on thinking there might not be enough war to go around as they anticipated it would only last a few months at best.
