Lars,
Thanks for your look up--his Bio was lacking any details--in fact in looking it over now he was a very lucky
soldier-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---being at the home area again--after joining in Tennessee --transfering to Ark.--Dis-banning--re-enlisting made a-Sgt.Major a few weeks to become a Captain--re-organization-- to-Major and then when
a Lt Col died he replaces him. later in the war he may become a adjutant General -{Inspector}

Complelely missing is any Battles,Skimmishs,etc--Note I'm sure he had some but he fails to list any?

It's also not all luck, he related to the Adairs--His father and mother raised (Capt.)John Lynch Adair b 1839-- First Indian Home guard- Aunt/Uncle/guardian-I'm only saying it did not hurt him.perhaps others
