Welcome to the Alabama in the Civil War Message Board and good luck with your research.

Because any discussion of "The battle of Fort Pillow", "The Fort Pillow Massacre" or its participants can generate a volatile exchange, please may I ask, that those responding on this thread, confine their responses to the question asked, "Can anyone tell me more about his service in the Civil War or his personal life?".

Please do not stray beyond biographical information for Major Booth.

Thanks,

Jim Martin
