Fort, Camps & Batteries: Various States
Some of you have purchased my books in the past. To those I say "Thank You!" Currently I'm re-writing and will offer A-Z for Forts, Camps & Batteries of Georgia and the same for Tennessee. I've acquired a copy of Hamersly's Army Register of 1888 and one volumn of Lossing's Civil War and the entire 128 volumn collection of the Rebellion Records for the Civil War for cross reference and have had 8 rolls of microfilm acquired from the National Archives of all Fort sites. There are literally hundreds of sites mentioned within those pages and there are probably just as many that have never seen the shadow of a metal detector coil passing over the ground. I'll also do a re-write to the Pennsylvania book as I've acquired additional information of many sites I didn't have locations for.
Here are some sites from states I haven't begun writing about:
Camp Vest, Missouri: located about four miles from Boonesville. Established May 14, 1864. a.k.a. Camp Bacon.
Vienna Station, Kentucky, McLean County, located at the falls of the Green River where Calhoun is today.
Camp Wadsworth at Hazel Green, Kentucky. Camp of the 2nd, 21st and 23rd Ohio Infantry in October, 1861 at McCormisck's Gap.
Hazel Green still visible on AAA map near West Liberty were a skirmish at the latter took place with a Tennessee Regiment.
Fort Van Strerben (sic) located on the site of Jeffersonville, Indiana. Garrisoned by two companies of troops and one cannon.
Camp Wilcox, Texas: Located on the east fork of the Trinity River. Co's A & I of 7th Infantry arrived on Feb 28, 1858.
If you have a site, you need more information on and you've run into a dead end. let me know and I'll see if I can shed some light on it. You can send me a Minie' Ball from the site.
Good luck to those who want to check out these sites. Let me know if you have any success. Thanks.
