Re: 43rd Miss Infantry Co. H
Wow! Is George thorough, or what? I can only add this little summary of his service from my records: Private Joseph Ballew -- missing after Corinth; served at Battles of 2nd Jackson (7/9-16/63) & Chicamauga (9/19-20/63) with Pound’s Battalion of Mississippi Sharpshooters; surrendered NC at war’s end (as a private in Co. K, 14th Consolidated MS Infantry). Hope this helps. Oh, yeah. The 43rd really did have a camel, and, no, it wasn't a Jeff Davis/US Govt. camel; it was privately imported via Mobile, AL, on the same ship that brought the US camels over, but several years later.
