Hi Pat,
I commend you on your website on the 29th Alabama. I have been researching for approximately 14 years on a book on the 53rd Alabama, which I am close to publishing. You include information through Green Rasberry's pension record that the 53rd and the 29th were brigaded together. I respectfully disagree that this ever took place. Green Rasberry served in the 53rd, and later with the 24th Alabama Battalion, which was always brigaded with the 53rd. In fact, it was originally raised as Co. L, M, and N of the 53rd before being split off as a battalion. But, it was still with the 53rd throughout the war. There is also a Green Rasberry listed in the 29th, who I suspect may be the same man.S3 I've seen his pension record, and either his aged memory was faulty, or someone else wrote it down wrong. The 53rd was always a mounted cavalry unit, and always brigaded within cavalry brigades and divisions. They spent most of 1863 under Phillip D. Roddey, and the Atlanta Campaign, and on to Savannah, under Wheeler.
That Green Rasberry was captured at Whitesburg, just south of Huntsville. The 24th was assigned there for a short time picketing the south side of the river before they rejoined the 53rd at Dalton, preparatory to the Atlanta Campaign. The Confederates would cross the river, trade coffee, etc. with the Yankee pickets, and chase girls in and around Huntsville. Several of them got caught one night.
In remembrance of our heritage,
