Well, well well. That makes three of us. Only it was my maternal Great Grandfather. Fourth Corporal Alexander P. Bradley (1846-1932) of the 12th Mississippi Cavalry. Age 15 in 1861. And two GG uncles that are buried in the Confederate Cemetary at Brices Cross Roads. No mass grave there like at Shiloh.
Brice’s Crossroads is still studied to this day as to how a smaller force (i.e., Forrest’s Confederates) could wreak havoc on a much larger force (i.e., Sturgis’s Federals).
