Hope that passes...Pburg is one of the places where my Great Great Grandfather fought. I use a restored photogravure image of him as my avatar. Pvt. Abel M. Crow, Macon Light Artillery....although it is referred to as Ells' battery in O'Rielly's book on the Petersburg campaign.

My G-Grandfather also fought there. I do wish I had a picture of him.

I'm very fortunate to have several pics of Abel...unfortunately none of them are from the war-time era.

NPS will have some locations, and you will be able to find some here. http://www.civilwar.org/maps/maps-listings.html?map_type=cwpt http://www.mycivilwar.com/regiments/csa-va/va_inf_29_reg.htm Good luck. I am tracing the 52nd Va. which my G-Grandfather fought with. Good luck. Last edited on Wed Apr 13th, 2011 11:18 am by Old Blu |
