Sun, 11 Sep 2016 05:57:22 +0000http://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=451#comment-103150No doubt some of that Confederate gold is sitting somewhere but only some of it. The bulk of it was divided among Davis’ cavalry escort – the 4th Tenn. Cav. Reg’t. Col. Minty led a dawn charge in 1863 surprising some Confederate videts and capturing my Ggrandfather in who was exchanged/paroled and later rejoined his unit – the 4th Tenn. Ironically, my Ggrandfather surrendered to Minty’s troopers again in 1865 in Georgia as part of Davis’ escort but the gold he secreted home to Tennessee. I doubt Minty ever obtained any of it.

Tue, 03 Feb 2015 02:03:24 +0000http://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=451#comment-82201[…] Robert H. G. Minty plays a critical role in my current book project, which is a detailed tactical study of the first day of the Battle of Chickamauga, September 18, 1863. Consequently, I have spent quite a bit of time studying him and his role in the Civil War since I decided to tackle the September 18 project, and was interested in him before the thought of tackling this project ever entered my mind. Minty is a fascinating fellow who had more than his share of foibles, but who nevertheless was one of the finest cavalry officers of the war. After the end of the Civil War, he abandoned his wife Grace and took up with her younger sister Laura in a very scandalous relationship. That tawdry story factors into the nonsense addressed in this post. […]

Story just broke here in Michigan. This link provides details that may benefit from comments from this forum.

Wed, 30 Nov 2011 23:34:53 +0000http://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=451#comment-45403Gen. Minty was buried in Ogden because he buried his 2nd son with Laura Abbott there in 1891. His name was
Glen Allen Minty, age 18 and who died of a form of paralysis–see page 443 of my son’s biography of the General: “Minty and His Cavalry-a History of the Sabre Brigade and Its Commander”, 2006, by Rand K. Bitter.
Following his death in Jerome, AZ, Laura felt it best to keep the family together so he was brought back to Ogden where they had spent 12 years (1885-1897). Others buried on this plot at Aultorest Cem. besides the general and his son are wife Laura and son Courteney’s 2nd wife, Mary Josephine Luker. Courteney himself is buried in California.
