Coopers Adjutants . . . and the Unsung Heroics and Deeds of Clerks in Gray!

Book excerpt: Over two million men were recruited for the regiments from the Confederate States of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Texas, South Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri, Cherokee Nation, and parts of Maryland throughout 18611865! The Adjutants of Confederate units persevered over three years of unbelievable hardship valorously and under constant threat of death! Honoring all Kentuckians past and present! Part of the real life story is given to us through the memoirs and diary of Mr. J. B. Jones, war clerk, Richmond, Virginia; President Davis, and numerous generals. Every attempt has been made to fully represent our adjutant general in this book to include a departmental and field roster of all adjutants (AAGs) and clerks who selfishly served their state, their conscience, and the Confederacy!
