This grew out of my Down Da Road I Go Blog which now has become primarily what I'm doing and music. I was getting so much history in it, I spun this one off and now have World War II and War of 1812 blogs which came off this one. The Blog List below right has all the way too many blogs that I write.

Jacob Smith's Wounds
By the 1902 court martial, Jacob Smith had received three wounds during his war service:
** Scar from a saber cut on the head which he received in July 1861 in Barboursville, Virginia.
** April 7, 1862, wounded by Minie ball in hip. It was still in his hip in 1902.
** Still had a bullet in his body from a wound at El Caney in Cuba during the Spanish-American War.
