Another one of those curious,intriguing stories! Greed makes some people take the low road,for sure. I remember about 30 years ago,a story about a CSA general that was mistakenly exhumed. He apparently was in a Fisk coffin, and when they looked inside ,he was perfectly preserved,dressed in full military regalia. Wish I could remember more of this! Great story,again,Ron.😊👍

My fiance was a reenactor. So when he died unexpectedly, I had him buried in his full Confederate military uniform. That is what he wanted. Instead of a casket bouquet, I put his saddle with his boots in backwards. I even put his weapons in his casket. He wasn't buried with them.

I have 5th Great Grandaunt. Her name was Rachel Phebe (Burress) Muck (1846-1897) who died tragically. She was accidentally shot by her Husband. Their son grabbed the gun off the rack and loaded it to shoot an wild dog and he changed his mind and put the loaded gun by on the rack and later his father grabbed it and pointed it at my 5th Great Grandaunt and he didn't know that there was a round in the chamber and accidentally shot her in the breast under her heart and her husband was devastated. He liked to joke around with his wife and pointing an unloaded gun at her. She's buried in Laurel Cemetery in Haven, Reno County, Kansas

I’m new to your channel, having run across it recently by accident as I surfed KZbin. I have been bedridden for over two years so I thought I’d watched every video on every subject I found even remotely interesting!! Im not drawn to your channel really by morbid fascination so much as my love for history - and especially the stories of ordinary people over the lofty and great. Due to my Disease, there are many nights I’m in pain and can’t sleep. I just can’t tell you how much I’ve enjoyed your storytelling and I can actually get so engrossed I start to forget the pain a little. I’ve particularly enjoyed this one as I do have relatives who fought on the confederate side in this battle (and so many others!). I also had over 100 ancestors who fought under General Lee in the east. So now to my request (if it would be possible, I would love to see you do a longer length series going through the Battlefield at Gettysburg. There are so many amazing stories that deserve to be told and I know you would be a guy who could tell them. I would love to hear about both north abs south, and all the various locations of horrific action like little round too, the wheat field, pickets charge, etc. My particular interest would of course be my own family, many of whom fought for the 50th Georgia, the 30th Calvary and several other Georgia and Florida regiments. They saw major action all three days and the 50th were seasoned veterans and a go-to regiment for Gen. Lee in many major battles. They saw particularly terrible action in the notorious Devils Den, and many of the infamous photos of the dead bodies laid out in rows of the unfortunate Confederates are among those that ran in many newspapers, north and south, horrifying the public and bringing the horrors of war into people’s living room for the first time. I don’t know many details of what happened to individual family members, but I do know one young fellow was wounded and died beside the wall of the barn at the Rose Farm. And probably worse - another was loaded onto a Confederate hospital wagon and following the next day’s even more notorious and bloody “Pickett’s Charge”, was among the poor wretches hauled over rutted, pockmarked roads at breakneck speeds as the Confederates made their retreat. After two days of this, the young fellow died in most probable agony. To hear some of these stories. Told by you would to me be just incredible! I visited the battlefield years ago with my (Yankee!) late husband and our teenage children and the kids say they still remember the deep impact it made on them. In fact, one was inspired to seek a history degree and the other, a published author, wrote her first book set during the war. There are several rangers there who really know their subject matter and could probably provide you with many stories that may be little known by the public. Just like every war, there’s the politics, those mighty men who lead the armies, etc. But the real story (as subscribers here know) is with the lowly grunt soldiers, their experiences at ground level, and the stories we rarely hear - of life in the aftermath with horrific wounds to body, soul and spirit. So thank you again. Sorry I was so long winded. I guess I was inspired by your poignant telling of the battle of Franklin from the perspective of the individual.

I transcribed the diary of a civil war soldier named Peter Kemery from Angola. Indiana. He was there at Nashville. According to his diary, food was short for them and the civilians. Thomas was his commanding officer. Kemery died on September 1, 1864. In his diary he left a letter to his young niece. And in that letter was a lock of his auburn hair. I went to the IU library and found the regimental history. I think it was the 74th. infantry. According to that he was killed by sniper fire. I was amazed at how meticulous the records were.

In my mind, it is NEVER "totally cool", to dig up a body. I am quite sure the Pharoah of Egypt didn't want their bodies dug up and put on display just because another generation thinks it's cool to disrupt a grave, steal from them, and then put his coffin on display for the masses to look at. What gives anyone the right to dig up a body and disrespect it piece by piece, just because they can. I cherish these soldiers as it is my heritage. Both my great-great grandfather's fought against each other during the civil war in one battle. Had either of them died, I wouldn't be alive. My father climbed point de Hauck and served with Gen. Patton. Interesting as this man's life and service are, it is still his grave. It should not have been done. The dead deserves total respect and reverence for their once lived life.

For a body to be preserved, it has to be embalmed. I've heard of several instances where bodies have been relocated after having been buried 10, 20 or more years and the bodies were still intact and aside from looking a little dehydrated, the skin was pliable and no apparent decomposition had occurred. Being protected from the elements, like in a metal casket in a vault and/or dry climate and earth, a properly embalmed body should last for a very long time. What I wonder about is the shape of the cemeteries 100 or more years after we are gone. There are abandoned cemeteries lost to time which are re-discovered by accident. What stops this from happening in the future to present cemeteries?

Hi Ron !! Great story once. again. Having worked in the mortuary business i learned that there are two types of embalming. One is for preservation and two is for presentation. I'm certain that the dr that embalmed this man did it for presentation. If you wish to have your remains donated for science you would be embalmed for presentation. The embalmer would use a larger concentration so med students would use your body for practicing surgeries, etc. Students would use the body, and when they would be done you would go back to the cooler until the next time they would get you out again. Sometimes they would keep a body for several years. Stronger the formaldyhide for preservation. For presentation you would use a lower formaldehyde. If you would use preservation, your skin face, hands would turn grey and take on a leathery look.

When You were talking about December 16th and Christmas Eve I thought about the the Battle of the Bulge and the Christmas Eve action at Wolf Gap Belgium near Grandmenil in which Richard Weigand was Killed In Action while knocking out a Panther tank with a point blank bazooka shot to its rear. That caused a lot of confusion in the column of German tanks advancing up the road as they turned around smashing Jeeps and other vehicles trying to avoid becoming stuck or rolled over in the heavily wooded steep terrain. It was there that the Battle Hardened 2nd SS Panzer Division was stopped cold by green troops of the recently arrived 289th Regimental Combat Team of the 75th Infantry Division, The Bulge Buster’s.
