    Looking for Info on General Tom Green

    I just published my book on Texas, "Texas Military Sites 1700-1900" http://www.shop.rebellionbooks.com/T...-1900-MST1.htm and am looking to expand it a little dealing with specific Texas heroes. One of them I am interested in is Tom Green, from Texas but killed during the Red River Campaign at Blair's Landing, La.

    I am particularly interested in learning of any locations, it doesn't have to be exact, where the Tom Green bullets have been found. I have heard tales they were found in different places that Green's men were never at, so i'm trying to piece together how they may have gotten there.

    Re: Looking for Info on General Tom Green

    LATX,
    What makes a bullet- a "Gen Tom Green bullet" specifically? Is it a caliber, mold, or marking special to his Texas Cavalry Commands? I hunt all long the Bayou Tech and Red River Campaign areas- but don't know what sets any apart from the others as his? Surely u don't mean the cannon ball that hit him in the head.
    Post or PM me some detail- might like to help.

    HUNTING... Anyway, anytime, anyhow;  Gold, deer, rocks and gems, turkey, arrowheads, fossils, coins, fish, new sunrises, etc, so forth, and so on...

    Tom Green bullets were designed by him and are shaped different. They are similar to Gardners. You can see a picture of one at http://www.corinthcivilwarrelics.com/bullets.html
