Posted: Mon Dec 05, 2011 7:35 amMy great Grandfather and his Brother
Posted: Fri Feb 01, 2013 12:54 pmWas talking to my first cousin on my Mom's side last night, James Patrick Jordan, a graduate of Crossville, Alabama High School, now in Tucson.
He said my Grandfather Jordan's Dad, James Sanders Jordan, along with his Brother Henry Rufus both joined the Union side in the Civil WAr with the Alabama Vidette Regiment. The Other Bama Union Regiment so impressed General Sherman he used some of them as his body guard, and according to my cousin that regiment was the only Union group from the South to present both Black and white soldiers. That Group as I understand my cousin was from around Winston County, west of Cullman; and it was Winston County that produced the great Lincoln Republican of the 1960's, Atticus Finch in the flesh, Judge Frank Johnson.

"Adamantine"
Posted: Mon Nov 03, 2014 9:52 pmA public question for Dr. Gourley. Bruce, in the Nov issue of Baps Today, you talk about the Basin River boys of Richmond, Va rocking negroes and local reports about deaths and pop skull of their "adamantine" head. I think I have an idea about the phrase, but could you expound a little on the etymology.
E. L. Doctorow in his his masterpiece Sherman's March, is excellent in using vocabulary of the era in his historical novel.
