Did you know that General Longstreet at the age of, I believe, 88, married a young woman in her twenties, who lived into the 1950's?
As I like to tell my son, who, like me, is a big Civil War enthusiast, since I was born in 1949, I could actually have met General Longstreet's wife!

In my town there is a son of a Confederate veteran whose father served with my GGGF in his squad. My GGGF was his Sgt. in the 7th Mississippi Cavalry, C.S.A. The last Confederate widow in Mississippi died in 1987 has two surviving sons. She lived about four miles from here.
