Civil War Times: May 1997 LettersCivil War Times Archives | one comment | Print This Post | Email This Post In 1983, the museum department of the city of Mobile, Alabama, gave me copies of letters and telegrams sent to him when he was employed in the defense of Mobile. Before the war my great-grandfather lived in Whistler, outside Mobile, and served as an engineer for the Mobile & Ohio Railroad. He apparently helped to build Fort Appalachee, Alabama. It has been said he was taken prisoner and kept on an island; I don’t know where. The New York Library has a book about civil engineering projects that he wrote after the war. Subscribe Today
Could it be that among your readers someone could give me some details, if not about Captain Liernur, then on the Corps of Engineers that was involved in the defense of the Mississippi River? C.W. Ray

Hi,
I like to know the origin of the name Liernur. One of my family, long time ago, was a born Liernur. HE most likely came from Holland. What kind of name is it and did it change to Lerner.
Please contact me and I live n Australia too.
