My grandmother was Fannie Ruth Runion. Her mother, my great grand mother, was Mary Hood, the sister of John Bell. Anyone with photos of her I would love to have. Please contact me for any information on Mary Hood at my e-mail address. Thank you very much. Sylvia McDowell
How good to have found this Website. May the general's memory be eternal.
Truly interesting site, well worth the time to read.
Thank you!
It seems to me that many authors have a "term paper" mindset when writing their historical works. These authors are not content to simply present the facts as they are; no, they are more interested in "proving their point." I agree with the publishers of this website that too many authors cherry-pick their facts, including only those that support their theses and ignoring anything to the contrary. These biases result in intellectually dishonest scholarship. I would like to thank the authors of this website for their critique of Wiley Sword's work, and I hope this encourages critiques of other authors' works, which I feel is sorely lacking.
Administrators note: Thank you Andrew. Indeed too many Civil War characters have been victimized by exploitative authors. The dead are not the only victims; so too are the unwitting readers who invest their time and money in books that are assumed to be accurate and complete.
We are doing a historical preservation project on the Allatoona Pass Battlefield in Cartersville, Georgia where John Bell Hood built one of his star forts. We would love anymore information on the site or John Bell Hood! If possible, please contact us at endangeredproject@gmail.com. Thank you.
We love you in Texas Gen. John Bell Hood
Just returned from New Orleans, La. on Monday, 28 September 2009. Had a pleasant stroll through the Garden District with thoughts of the General. Even though I am up here in the Great Northern Region, my heart will always be with DIXIE. GOD BLESS!!!
I really appreciate the information and the facts on Gen. Hood, one of my favorite generals of the Civil War period. Thank you.
Learning more and more about family and history.
Hood was clearly a man of great courage and integrity who spared no effort for the cause he believed in.
Although not directly related I am proud to bear his name
