Sam,
Great looking website! The 'Braxton Bragg Society' (if there is one) could learn a thing or two! 
The Tennessee tour this spring was great and very revealing - I hope to go on another one again someday.

I am directly related to JBH on my mother's side. Her father was Carlyle Evans Hood of Kentucky. Her maiden name was Gladys Rosalie Hood. I share a very strong resemblance to JBH as does several of other "cousins". I would like to hear from others of my generation (post WWII kids)that follow the civil war and know of General Hood and the galant men of CSA.
Thanks

Always a pleasure to sign a guestbook dedicated to someone who served with my ancestors in the 4th, 22nd, 24th, and 36th Virginia Infantry and the 17th Virginia Cavalry, even if they were not in the same units, but still in the Army of Northern Virginia.
Im a re-enactor in the 5-th Texas Co."D" Waverlys Confederates--very proud to be a member of the Texas Bridgade--thank you for a great job--Sgt./Maj. Jim Reed 5-th Texas Co."D"C.S.A.
I'm a distant relative of Gen. Hood. My grandmother was Myrtle Lee Hood Townsend, and was raised most of her life in Killeen, Tx. My Great Granddad was Monroe Hood of Killeen, Tx. I have a paper clipping from the Killeen paper with my Great-Granddad holding a picture of Gen. Hood at Ft. Hood, interesting stuff. I am related to all the Hood's in the Killeen area. I am a very big Civil War buff and have visited all the places Gen. Hood has been. Fascinating man, and a fighter!
I am sure that someone has put together an extensive electronic database of the Hood family. It would be helpful for it to be posted here for others to download. I am looking for a connection to William Jefferson Hood, Charles Luther Hood, and Katie Hood from Paris, TX.
I believe in my heart John Bell Hood was a truly noble and honorable man and soldier. His heroics inspire me. I am not a relative of his but if I was I would be damn proud of it.
Thank you for your very well done page. I believe in my heart that Hood was a man of honour. His memory lives on because of people like you.
Greetings: I am a descendant of General Hood from the Boone-Callaway branch(Boone). Thank you for your wonderful site. 
Very interesting site, nicely done! It is good to see some illumination regarding General Hood...a far more complex and amazing figure than much history has shown.
