No nothing romantic about war. So sometime between September, 1864 and Nov/December, 1864 (shows enlisted December 28,1864 in 17th Regt. Va. Inf. Co.G), if he was conscripted (and that means forced?) would he have been arrested for that and held at Castle Thunder? He says he was let go with no charges and then he went to Pickets Div. Corse's Brigade.

I appreciate your patience with me.
