Good morning, AAM ((HUGS))

Now I have to talk to hubby about Bragg, see if he’s familiar with him (almost positive he is) and let him fill me in.

Almost all my confederate ancestors suffered under the guy.

Nope! They slept through the whole thing. One of them escaped by tearing a hole in their wooden fence and then getting tangled in my wysteria which covers part of that fence....right under my bedroom window.

No WAY was I going out there. That dog is a big, mean pit bull and I’m terrified of them in broad daylight, much less in the middle of the night. Hubby sleeps through anything! LOL!

Can you discuss this with the neighbor?

If their pits are dangerous, it should be reported if they can’t keep them penned.

Since they were ancestors . . . . :-D yes!

Lost a lot of relatives though, cousins killed at Shiloh, at Resaca and at Tunnel Hill. My g-g grandmother's oldest sister's husband, John Stewart, was killed at Shiloh and his body was never found. My g-g grandfather was one of his best friends in the same unit. He was wounded, and while he was in the service his wife died laboring of twins (who died with her). He had one surviving child (my g grandmother) and never remarried. I get the impression from family letters that he had PTSD but of course nobody understood that then.

Another g-g grandfather was wounded at Shiloh, also at Nashville and at Chickamauga. He was a lawyer and banker in Eufaula AL and the Commander of the local UCV after the War. They invited Sherman to come speak - to a standing o. (Sherman was much loved in the South after the War because he opposed Reconstruction.)

Still another g-g grandfather led a charmed life - he was the classic combination of humility (almost shyness) and incredible bravery. He did a lot of valiant (some would say stupid) stuff as a cavalryman/ "partisan ranger" and never caught a scratch. Came home afterwards, went back to farming, had a bunch of kids, lived into his 80s.

It's going OK.

I made an unscheduled visit to the dentist yesterday. I had a couple of teeth repaired. One of them had a chipped area which I first noticed Saturday morning. The other was not in very good shape and needed to be fixed.

I'm taking Bo to the vet later this morning for his monthly dose of anti-flea spray.

It is hot today. Taking it easy out there.

My sympathies.I hate dogs barking at night...It’s been a long time since I have endured the noise...My husband used to sleep through anything, too.

seems you did a lot of research into family history. I haven’t found any in ours that were involved in the war.

and BTW, just because they were ancestors doesn’t mean they survived Bragg...just could have left behind heirs that became your family. Unless we are talking about two different things :)
