Re: 3rd Arkansas at Gettysburg: Casualty List?

After talking with my father and from what he remembers of what his grandfather told him about Green, it seems no one at the time wanted to talk much about what happened.
You are right when you say the Civil War was, on one level, thousands of little tragedies. When Green went on furlough in March, 1863, it was presumedly to see the birth of my great-great grandfather. I know he saw him again; they lived as neighbors in southern Illinois in the 1870s until they died in the 1920s and 30s, but we don't know what happened to my great-great-great grandmother, Drusilla. she seems to have just disappeared into the past. Was it common for wives to follow the army to be near thier husbands during the war?

Perhaps sometime soon I'll take a trip to Richmond and do some digging in old Confederate hospital records and see if there are any more details on Green's plight. If anyone on here has access to those records and is interested, any report of findings would be greatly appreciated.

While I have no knowledge of his thoughts or feelings on the War, and can't ascribe to him bravery or cowardice, I am proud to have a Confederate in the family.
