Comdr. Hilburn: Sorry that I don't have access to any bio of Hoskins, but may I suggest that you post your query on the "Artillery" board here at history-sites.com? The kind folks on that board may be able to help you. I regret that we no longer have you in the SCV, but I understand how these things are. Good luck to you in your search! -- Jim Huffman, Gainesville Vols, SCV Camp 373, Pearl River County, MS
