The Mississippi in the Civil War Message Board

Co. C - 8th MS Infantry

Gentlemen (and, ladies),

I will be shortly 'going to press' with my historical novel "Honor Kept - Duty Done", the story of my gggf, Lt. BF Crook and his twin brother, Capt. HW Crook, of Co. C in the 8th Mississippi Infantry before, during, and after the WBTS.

If any of you have letters of ancestors who served in this company from Smith County and who wish to have them worked into the story line, please feel free to contact me 'back channel' at the following e-mail address - scv8ms@aol.com. I am looking primarily those items related to this particular company, altho' letters from other companies in the regiment would be considered.

I hope to have the book out by Thanksgiving. It is not a 'scholarly' work on the 8th Regiment, but I have spent a number of years researching its history and should be a good read for anyone interested in this unit.
