They probably didn't research in detail. I will have to check it out. I would be interested in any other Minor/Miner men you hav

Karen,
First I have to say, I'm delighted you also had an ancestor named Abiah! My ggg-grandfather, who was a surgeon during the Civil War, was named Abiah Heston. You don't come across that name very often!

Note: The following letter was written by a soldier of the 13th Iowa
Infantry on December 9, 1862. The 13th was then situated near Abbeyville,
Mississippi. Topics discussed in brief include conditions in camp; setting
up winter camps; the thinning of the ranks following the 13th Iowa's
participation at Shiloh and Corinth; and contact with "contrabands," or
slaves who had made it to Union lines. In the last, the reader must keep in
mind that terminology in use in the mid-1800s may be offensive to t

Hi!
My name is Stein Auestad. I'm currently working on a book on the men from
the Ryfylke area in Southwestern Norway who fought in the Civil War. This
involves one of my forefathers in addition to a number of siblings of my
forefathers and foremothers.
The project may however have to be split into individual sub-projects on
each township, since a preliminary estimate suggests that some 400 to 500
men from Ryfylke served during the Civil War.
I'm looking forward to meeting you all, even though I may have
