My fascination with the Civil War began when I uncovered that I had several ancestors who served in the war. Trying to understand their lifes and times has lead me to a deep gratitude and appreciation for the decisions they made, hardships they endured, and commitments they kept.
Please help me build this site as a tribute to those men and their families.
