I am the great grandson of George H. Frank, on my mothers side, who was a member of Company 'A' of the 10th when it was captured at Courtland, Al. on July 25,1862. I just found out this year that he was in the civil war and when I found this date in a copy of a book called 'The 10th Kentucky Volunteer Infantry in The Civil War' you can probably imagine my excitement. You see, I was born on July 25, 1946.
