A set of books: Branded as Rebels -- Conf. troops, Civ. War

[Kathie in Thorp]

I'm a huge history buff; my hubby is from MO, right where much ruckus started along the Kansas/MO line early on, in Bates County On a trip to MO a couple years ago, I found BRANDED AS REBELS, Vols. I and II. The author, Donald R. Hale, has compiled in these books information on every Confederate soldier he found/received information for. If any of you have Confederate soldiers in your family history, wondering if there has been anything written about them, LMK, and I'll see if there is any mention in these books. Narrow it down, if you can -- if you have home-towns, birthdates, . . . . there could be six or twenty John Smiths.

Any mention of a Mancil aka Mance from Liberty SC or that area. I'll try and find his first name he was sometimes called Mance. Yankees had a large bounty on his head after he got tired of the carpet baggers and the occupational thieves.

Well, yes and no -- I found Vol. II, but have put Vol. I somewhere . . . in a safe place, I'm sure . . . which I haven't relocated yet. In Vol. II. there was an AFH or AHF Payne, out of Clinton, MO. There were actually a couple references to him, but when it finally got to a first name instead of the initials, it wasn't an "Asa."

Jogeephus, I found nothing in Vol. II about a Mance or Mancil.

I hadn't really noticed in these books before: The little histories give home towns, but almost never show info about what units/companies these men served with. ????

Will update again when I find Vol. I. What this author did via multiple volumes was that he put all info he had into Vol. I; and then as he got more names and more histories, he put together Vol. II. K
