He lost his arm in the Battle of Gettysburg. In doing research I found some letters on the Florida Confederate Army website that some soldiers in his infrantry had written home, in the letters my uncle was mentioned. It was so great to get a glimpse into his life during the Civil War. He was taken prisoner and was on Johnson Island for several months. He came back to his home in Florida and died ten years later in his early 40's due to the severe problems he had with his missing arm. A couple of years ago I found his grave on a private plantation outside Tallahassee and that was the highlight of my research. My uncle's brother (also my uncle) served in the Confederate Army out of Brunswick Georgia, he was a Major in the Army, in his former life before war he was a judge. That war took its toil on both those in professional life along with the farmers and young boys. It is so sad to me when I go through my history.

It really gives you a realistic insight to how things really were. You can almost invision these soldiers back in the past. I just love history.... I just love reading letters like this.
