A closer look at Galvanized Yankees formerly of the 34th Mississippi
Picking-up from where I left off, a few days back… I figured since someone took the time to compile a list of men of the 34th Mississippi Infantry who became Galvanized Yankees, I’d see if there might be something more to be said about these fifteen men.

Apparently the Union veteran had prior service with the Confederate army. Like some of the people with whom […]
