I love all the stories posted and would love to add a few of ‘southern flavored’ writing I am working on….I’m taking creative writing classes at Santa Monica College and have received positive feed back. How can I send an email with attachment to Alabama Pioneer Editor and see what they think and if they would be of interest.

These were great! Lt Col. Theodore G. Trimmier (41st Alabama Infantry) should be among them.

In the picture of Charles E. Cobb, I noticed that the head and body do not seem to match. On a recent trip to Natchez, Mississippi we visited some of the Civil War plantations. On one of the tours, there was a painting of the children of the original owners of the house. The tour guide commented that the children’s heads didn’t match their bodies because the bodies were painted in advance to save the artist time. The artist would also add arms and legs to the painting, for an additional amount. Therefore, the origination of the term, “it cost an arm and a leg”. In the case of Charles E. Cobb, it appears his photograph (face) may have been added to the picture of the uniform.
My great great grandfather was with the troops at Appomattox when Gen Lee surrendered and came from Marshall Co. AL. I am very proud of my Southern Roots!

If the caption says 1860- 1869 how could he be govenor in 1890?
Thanks for catching that mistake. I posted when the picture was probably made, not his birth and death. I’ve corrected it now.
I wander if you could find out anything on a General Crutchfield of the CSA?
Was he ever Gov. of Alabama. Google has him as a unsuccessful Candidate of Gov.
He was Governor. Google has it wrong. http://www.archives.alabama.gov/govs_list/g_jonest.html
He is more about him from Wikipedia – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Goode_Jones_School_of_Law
