For those of you following the Collins family posts, please don’t miss my post on the Union pension file of Riley J. Collins over at 
Southern Unionists Chronicles. Riley was brother to Simeon and Jasper Collins and died serving the Union Army during the Civil War.

Unfortunately the Texas Union individual soldiers’ records aren’t up yet, but there are plenty of other documents there that discuss Unionists, including a handful of Texas Southern Claims Commission files, and some items in the Confederate Citizens File, notably the Camp Ford undercover operation, the Hildebrandt et al case, and a couple of Galveston sedition cases that I’ve found so far.

I’m pleased that you decided to have a look at Renegade South, Hunter. I love the way Mr. Rowe interacts with you all on his blog as well as in class. It must make history much more interesting when a teacher is so engaged in what he or she is teaching!
