I’ve actually been there and worked with a geologist from there
As well as in Colombia the descendants of William Lankins Bradford who fought with Semmes and refused surrender at Mobile Bay

There are a number of them in Barranquilla and Santa Marta

They have his uniform under glass and letters from Lee and Semmes asking him to come home....his grandson was the primary orthopedic surgeon in Baranquilla for many years latter half of 1900s

Real interesting. Never knew about the Confederados in So. Am.

Incredible knowledge on that CW message board.

That’s interesting....I really had no idea about this community, or the history of the confederates moving so deep into South America. I knew about some of them settling in Mexico.
