Last Man Killed in the Civil War
It is a little known fact that the last man killed
in the Civil War died in a forgotten skirmish in
Alabama. Corporal John W. Skinner of the

in the Skirmish of Hobdy's Bridge on May 19,
1865, six days after the generally accepted
date of the last battle of the War Between the
States.
