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.

My Great Great Grand Father, was in 2nd Louisiana Heavy Artillery at Vicksburg, Ms south fort the southern part of Vicksburg. I got his parole paper. What's so crazy about it is he was living in Webster county, Mississippi, he was 38 years old, my Great Grand Father was born Feb.17, 1863 he never got to know he's dad because he left home 2 wks after my Great Grand Father was born. I believe he died June of 1864.
