Re: Black Confederate Bugler

Thanks Joe, is there a list of past members of the Camp or residents of the home ? Would the fact a man was a former "bodyguard" or "body- servant" be recorded ?

Just located this in the OR: Serial 032 Page 0281 Chapter XXXIV. MARMADUKE'S EXPEDITION INTO MISSOURI.

April 29.- The crossing of Castor was successfully effected in the face of a strong rear guard of the enemy, and the advance of the command moved a few miles toward Bloomfield, skirmishing nearly all the way with the enemy and occasionally taking a few prisoners. The command did not all pass the river during the day, as it rose so as to be unfordable and one floating bridge had been away. Marched 8-miles, and captured Marmaduke's body-servant, Bill.
