Nell,

There is a W.C.D. Hudspeth, Nov 23,
1840-Mar 14, 1923; buried Pinckard
City Cemetery, Dale County and that
is all I kow of him; age wise, unless
he was disabled, he surely would
have served, but I find nothing.

There was another, from Barbour,
a Miller by trade; I find him referred
to as Columbus D., W. Columbus
D. and W. Columbus Dorsey
Hudspeth; b. in Ga in 1810, enl at
Clayton Aug 10, 1861 as Pvt, Co G,
29th Ala Inf Rgt; wounded in the
thigh at Resaca May 14, 1864 and
treated at Empire Hospital in
Atlanta; recovered and wounded
again in the right leg near Atlanta
Jul 14, 1864; treated at Ocmulgee
Hospital at Macon and remained
there until war's end.

As for the activities of the 29th; it
went first to Pensacola, Fla and
remained in that area, spending
some time at Camp Lee, (Pollard)
and Mobile, Ala until Apr 1864
when ordered to join the Army of
Tenn at Resaca; thereafter, it
fought continuously through the
Atlanta Campaign and in Nov
1864 at Franklin, Tenn and the
following month at Nashville
where the Army was literally cut
to pieces; following the rout at
Nashville, reorganized in Miss,
the Army proceeded to NC where
it surrendered in Apr 1865; of
more than 1600 officers and men
who served with the rgt during
the course of the war only about
90 remained to be paroled.



Deo Vindice,

Homer
