Mini Biographies / Birth and Death Dates, of Confederate Officer's and Elisted Men.

I will be posting as many mini biographies, as I can post, of both famous and non famous men and women who served, in the Confederate Military. I am hoping this will add to what is known about specific individual's, and I also hope to add some genealogical information, such as birth and death dates, to the Blog Post's, to help those wishing to join Lineage / Heritage Organization's, or those just searching for genealogical information.

The Blog and it's objective.

My idea for this blog came from the need, for a location, on the web, for free record's, on Confederate Soldier's, Sailor's, Roster's and Unit Histories. This is not a "Confederate History" site per se, although I will be writing on occasion, about Confederate History. It is dedicated to the men and women, of every color and stripe, who served, or assisted the Confederate War effort, as well as the Unit's they served with. This Blog will be updated on a regular basis, so stop by often and view the new posting's.

Welcome / Bienvenidos.

Welcome to the new Confederate Soldier's, Sailor's and Unit Histories Blog.
