Hi David,

I hope you know, I value your participation on the message boards. I wanted to make some of the people on the N&V site aware of your contributions to the internet, especially as it relates to the Mississippi Valley in the War of 1812 and Simpson County during the Civil War. For those of you who haven't visited, our Mr. Upton is responsible for a great deal of the information on this site, which you can visit and review his work at:

Our Confederate Soldiers of Simpson County, Mississippi

and

Soldiers of the Mississippi Territory; War of 1812

David, I'll place a link on our Contributors' Links page for these valuable pages. Thanks for the hard work and the contribution you've made to our understanding of Mississippi Civil War and War of 1812 history.

Jim Martin
