I am researching the 44th Alabama and David L. Bozeman. He is my 3rd Cousin 5X removed. I grew up in Selma, Alabama and never knew we had family that had lived so close as Lowndes Countyy. My search for my ancestors and their families has been a great joy but a very short search as I only began our family history in 2005. Most of my family came from Covington Countyy through Lewis Bozeman. That Bozeman line had many who served in the 37th Alabama. So our family history is rich with the Civil war history. Is there anybody who has any info on David and his family other that what is found in "Sketches of the Bozeman Family"? I found a picture of his tombstone at the Spotsyvlania Cemetery and was so thrilled to find that as I will never be able to travel to Virginia or Gettysburg. Would so love to see the Devil's Den where the 44th took an incredible journey through Hell on earth as was the whole of the Gettysburg event.
I did see a hint of letters maybe written by him to his family in a deal called "Bozeman Letters". Just happene to see the reference and I don't even know if it is a real deal or not. Those are the sort things that give our ancestors life so to speak and would sure love to hear from any of you folks who had anything you could share about my cousin.
Thanks
James Bozeman
