I have been seeking information on Captain Joseph H. Dale for many years, most to no avail. If anyone has any info on him that is not in Booths or Arts La. Units, my family and I would be eternally grateful ( he was our family hero and we do not even know where he was buried, other than what the New Orleans papers related about his death in Aug. of 1880).
