Like seeing this pre war map. A lot of people are unaware of how only 4 counties made up northeast Mississippi at that time.

I was born in New Albany, Union County Mississippi. I still have kinfolk in Blue Springs. My grandmother (1899 - 1988) used to tell a tale of Yankee soldiers raiding her grandparents' smokehouse and stealing all the hams.

Any part 7?

Thanks for the videos Jeff. Hope you are well!

Excellent work. Thank you

great battle . R.I.P. OL' BEDFORD

Just found this video. Thank you for sharing this account and making this nice video. My ancestor was in the Fourth Iowa Cavalry and at this engagement. As you likely know, the Third was tied with the Fourth through much of the war. A member of company F of the Fourth, William Forse Scott, wrote a detailed history of their career in a book called "The Story of a Cavalry Regiment." Scott detailed with obvious anger how Winslow was wrongly blamed by his superiors for some of the loss at Brice's Crossroads, and convincingly argues how this was nothing but an attempt to shift blame. If one wanted to hear another firsthand account, I recommend Forse's book which is available in high quality on the Library of Congress' site.

I live off of Van Dorn St in Alexandria Virginia 😊

Was there a Company K Mississippi volunteers?looking for my gr gr grandfather Thomas Bates. Thabk you!- paula

Wow. I’m a descendant of 1st LT Joseph P Buckles. Im on a journey to track down as much info about my ancestors as I can. Good or bad.

I’m interested in the Parol and how that made any sense? What stopped these men from taking up arms again? Thanks

How is this not more popular

Love your videos. Do you have any videos about the 14th Infantry Mississippi. My 3rd Great Grandfather served in the 14th Infantry Mississippi Company E.

These are very interesting. Thanks!

Hi, Jeff. I had an ancestor there. And one in Port Hudson.

Keep it up Jeff…love your videos!!

I enjoyed your video very much! I lost a family member in a skirmish the evening before the main battle; he was in the 114th Illinois Infantry. We don't know where his body is interred but have been told he was likely buried in a mass grave in the area of the battlefield. The 114th was experienced in battle having fought in several battles, including Vicksburg. Thank you for helping me understand more about the battle!

Do you have any info on where Captain Jones was from, or where he is buried? I had an ancestor in the 38th Miss, and I am related to the Jones that lived near where this ancestor also lived.

Awsome!!

I had a great grandfather that was a Sergeant in the 4th Mississippi Cavalry, and a great-great grandfather in the 38th Mississippi. From your previous video, you confirmed that the 4th Miss cavalry was also there.

Glad I found your video, and finally got confirmation that the 4th Mississippi Cavalry was there. My great grandfather was a sergeant in the 4th Mississippi Cavalry.

Excellent!

Awesome video; how do I get a copy of your book Beneath Torn and Tattered Flags?

Excellent

Gen. Hood should of been replaced, due to Wound's, from Gettysburg,& Chickamauga, & Laudanum use for pain, Incapacity? If Patrick Cleburne was in charge, with N.B. Forrest Cavalry, Franklin,Tn. may not have happened, & the Veteran Army of Tennessee, would not of suffered their (Death as an Army), a Cleburne - Forrest, Leadership Team? If I was in the ranks, I would have prayed for that to happen!

Great Stuff!! Thanks for sharing!

Very interesting

great episode, i love the more personal/diary ones

My great grandfather was GH Faulkner and at the time of the Civil War he was living in Greene County Arkansas. He joined the Mississippi Artillery battery that that served at Vicksburg. According to our family history he was one of the men who was in charge of Whistling Dick. This fact has been a part of our family that I can vouch for the authenticity of this fact. I have seen one photo of him with the cannon. Sadly, I do not know where the photo has gone.

thankyou for giving these men a voice, hardcore indeed. i cant wait for part 5!

My apologies, my friend. I had not been getting any notification about your video till today. Interesting fact that I ran across. Is that the 38th Miss carried a Van Dorn flag at the siege of Vicksburg. The flag was surrendered to the Union. But after they were paroled they were issued Department of Alabama, Mississippi, & East Louisiana battle flags.

Very interesting! Can hardly wait for part 5 . . .

thankyou sir for these, im learning alot and waiting for more

the officer on the front of the vid. has got to be one of the if not the best dressed of the war. the uniform is very elaborate compared to most. i know it’s his parade dress and it’s gotta be one of the best i’ve seen. u can see his wedding ring but also on right hand a pinky ring.

Very good! Interesting and informative.

Thank you for your coverage!

enjoyed very much. look forward to more

I had been under the impression that Mississippi suffered the greatest loss of soldier aged men among the states - around 25%, but it seems recent historiography has gone in a different direction. It certainly did not see the prolonged occupations of Virginia and Tennesse but still had its share of conflict.

My great grandfather Joseph Chairs Perkins of Starkville taken prisoner/parolee July 4, 1863 at Vicksburg with the 35th Mississippi infantry company E

This is a great series My great great great uncle Captain Wesley Mellard was a part of Co H 13th Mississippi of the brigade of General William Barksdale in the Army of Northern Virginia Barksdale was a former Mississippi congressman before the war and friend of Confederate President Jefferson Davis

Finally got around to starting this series. Excellent work!!!!

Nice.

Barksdales Charge and his Mississippians made perhaps the most dramatic assault of the Gettysburg campaign...I was disappointed that the movie Gettysburg did not depict more of them steamrolling Sickles salient. I was recently looking at the 'Elliot' map of Gettysburg after the battle, which shows where all dead horses and soldiers were. Barksdales path was strewn with corpses of rebels, yanks and beasts of burden

Thank you for the video! 🙏 Looking forward to the next in the series.

Can you do a video on the 38th Mississippi?

My GG Grandfather fought with the Mississippi 7th Company I, but I don't know if he fought here at Franklin.

Yes, I have enjoyed watching this video, than you.

Wonderful channel, glad I discovered!

great stuff!
