Reparations are big in the news now. Should I come to you for reimbursement for my great great grandaddy's house that your uncle burned? biggrin:

Dagnabit! I would hate to see what he would have down if he enjoyed it! Burning a little old lady's house is not something that you "have" to do. hake: Sherman did spare the houses of a few friends that he had before the war. And I believe he was a professor at LSU when the war started.

That's awesome Pest. Nothing in my family has survived from the war. I guess it was all in that house that Pfc. Green's uncle burned. mad: I have several relatives that fought in the war. All that remains is a photograph of one in his uniform and one as an old man. In that one he is wearing an eye patch due to having the eye shot out at Shiloh.

Pest, have you ever thought of having the dairy published? It would be a great source of material for historians. They like to study dairies to confirm events surrounding battles, etc. I would think that some publisher would love to take a look at it.
