At this time author Ron Skellie working under the title, "Lest We Forget-The Immortal Seventh Mississippi, A Regimental History of the Men and Their Connections" is writing a book on the 7th Mississippi infantry. His goal is to chronicle the lives of these men from their enlistment in the 7th Miss. Volunteers thru the ultimate surrender in North Carolina and Alabama.
This book will be a compilation of official records, diaries, letters and family recollections about these men and their family and friends back home that they called their "connections". Their stories of love, fear, humor,determination, tragedy, death and survival as told thru the eyes of a great-great-grandson, cousin and nephew of one of their fellow members of the "High Pressure Brigade". Any and all family information, military records, letters, bible entries, pension records, photos, newspaper articles, obituaries etc. will be welcomed. To contribute to this worthy project contact Mr. Ron Skellie at his email address below. If you have any information, pictures, records or such you would like to see added to this page contact me, Jamie Roberts, at my email address below. Thank you on behalf of those who served. |
