Hi there,
The name of the book is Reminiscences of an old confederate,
anecdotes of civil war
by
C.C. Castles Palestine, Texas
only living spy of Confederacy
Price, Fifty Cents
May, 1912
This is the front cover. I only have a photo copy of the book.. there were not many
printed from what i am told. Not sure if you will find any around. I only know of possibly
3 out there.. one is in Texas with a distant cousin, one is in Roy Acuff's family, and
i think there is one in the Smithsonian. My sister had one that I had used when i was in
high school to do a report on. The book came up missing after her death.. Not sure where
it is now. If you want any specifics you can e-mail me at t.schuetze(a)comcast.net We can
communicate easier then and not have to wait for the posts to come up. glad I can help. I
will ask a favor in return, please let me know of any connections you make with this.. I
have not been able to do this on my own for a number of reasons, but have wanted to see
how far i could trace it and how many branches there were.. All of the Elders in the
family are now gone including my mother who was a Castle..so there are no others to ask
questions of.. I hope!
this helps and feel free to contact me anytime.
Theresa
