I went to the Civil War site but if that information is there, I can't find it. I have an ancestor who fought for the south from Alabama or Miss. I have a copy of his military records. It lists him as being at the battle of Vicksburg. Then it lists him as hospitalized. Our side of the family said he lost an arm at Vicksburg. Several of those repeating the story remembered him. He died in 1906, the relatives were children but old enough to remember. In the last week a newly found descendent, of his, sent a picture of him and his wife taken ca 1900. It certainly looks like he has two arms. The military records do not list his wounds. Since he was a confederate soldier, he probably didn't get a pension. Some of the Alabama soldiers did get one but he is not on the list. My last hope is if he was on the 1890 vet schedules, I know they listed what type of sickness or wounds. Our joint feeling is that his arm was damaged and useless but not taken off. Thanks for any input, J Bletcher
