My 3rd great grandfather was in the Civil War at the Battle of Prairie Grove. I have a picture of him in uniform. One of my relatives wanted to make sure everyone knew what side he was on so they used water color to enhance the photo.

My Great Grandfather, Martin Abel McDuffie served in the 18th Alabama along with 3 brothers. Although they were technically from Florida, they joined in Elba, Alabama which was probably the closest place to do so.

They were all captured but exchanged. They participated in nearly every major battle of the war. I had a bunch of other ancestors serve in the First, Sixth and I think 8th Florida battalions.

Did they enhance the wrong colors? Heh

I have two ancestors who were both colonels in the Virginia Militia. One of them was with Lee when he surrendered at Appomatox, and rode home from the surrender on Lee’s horse.
