I need help with something fun! I have decided that, for my Civil War story (aka, “Journey of Choice”), I will create my own company to be in the 18th Missouri regiment. This means I need 100 men (I probably won’t mention them all by name, but I need to know of them as an author, right?). And I have four. π I feel very dry when it comes to thinking up SO many names, so I’m asking you: what are some Civil War-era names? First and last. Shoot away!!!

Jacob Haertter. π He is actually an ancestor of mine who served in the Civil War in a PA regiment. But I'm sure no one but me would know that. π I even have a picture of him. Well, it's at my grandparent's but there is one.

Fantastic ideas! Thank you all so much!! π I'm starting to work on Nat's story more, so these names are very likely about to be used. π
