Hello,
I have just finished a six year endeavor of writing a story about my family. It turned out to be eleven chapters of twelve about my Great Grandfather’s Civil War service. John Darling Terry enlist at 15 in the 1st Mass., went on to receive a MOH for service in the 23rd Mass., and then missing a leg for his service in the NYC Draft Riots received an appointment in the 1st NCCV as a Lieutenant & RQM. He served three more years, lost his wooden leg at Olustee and end up workingfor Saxton and Sickles at the Freedmen Bureau.
I find myself content with the work for family purposes but much of what was found was what I think very historically significant. My request is for advice from someone jn this field. My Master’s is in Computer Science and I have lost all touch with the people at WVU. It would be greatly appreciated if I could get pointed in the right direction. I have published inmy field but once again am lost in this domain. Thanks in advance for any help,
I just started working for an author whom researched 15 years worth of his family’s involvement in the American Civil War. His book was just published and you would seem to be in good company with him after reading the above….please check out the site for contact info
