Re: Rackensacker Need info ASAP

Bill,

That would be great. Yes I know they, or some advanced to the rear quite hurridly but as you well know, some accompanied Yell in the charge that cost a few lives. I would like to think it was going forward in that countercharge. However, we want to perpetuate the term Rackensacker, as unique to us Arkansawyers, especially in the military. This is that primary source documentation that we can show others, who don't really appreciate their lineage, that the term is real, that Arkansas soldiers were often referred to as such, and that those soldiers past, overall, performed very nobly in their duties. After all, that is what we want to emulate. my email is aconfed@att.net. I do appreciate your assistance with this. We have found numerous references to "Rackensack" as Arkansas and "Rackensacker" as a person from Arkansas as well as the soldiers from Arkansas. Many thanks. Perhaps, once we get our display up I can send a photo of the finished product.
