Description: The War of Northern Aggression, The War Between the States, or The Civil War, no matter what people call it, the war between the North and the South was brutal. No one was left unaffected by it. Men both young and old quickly enlisted for the side they believed in. This often, put brother against brother and father against son. The men of Perry County, Mississippi also heeded the call to arms. Six companies of Confederate troops would be formed in Perry County along with men from neighboring Greene and Jones Counties. Contained in this book are all the names of the men who served in both sides, the Blue and the Grey, during the war. Men from Forrest and Covington Counties can also be found in this book. It also gives a brief history of each company and lists the individual Officers and Soldiers, along with other information pertinent to each one.
