    Thanks, Chris– your post caused me to review “Uncle John’s” life and career. Makes the Civil War stories come alive for us readers.
    Keep them coming!

      Thanks! One of my goals, as a writer and interpreter, is to help people make their own connections to these great stories. I’m glad I was able to help you find an opportunity to take some time and reflect!
