Gentlemen of the North and South, I have an uncle who knows I am passionate about the ACW. He has asked of me a question. Who in the American Civil War was a Priest at 16 and General at 20? I do not know the answer but maybe someone here does. My uncle is from Ireland and maybe the the person that he speaks of was Irish or had Irish blood. All the best General Mullins AoT |

Gen Mullins . . an interesting Riddle Suh! [:D] How about GENERAL WILLIAM PAUL ROBERTS, CSA, the youngest commissioned Brig. General in the CSA? A mere rough guess based on his age at commissioning as a General - 20 years! [;)] Pat. Patrick G.M.Carroll, Brigadier General. Carroll's Corps,(II) "Spartan Southrons" Army of Georgia. C.S.A.Cabinet Secretary " When My Country takes it's rightful place, amongst the Nations of the World, then and only then, let My Epitaph be written. " |
