I LOVE to read! Thanks. I’ll give her a go and let you know what I think when I’ve finished it. And please allow me to tell you about a book. It’s called Borderland Rebellion. The name of the author escapes my mind at the moment but if you are interested, I will find it out for you. The book deals with the Civil War along the border of Arkansas and Missouri and how violent and truly destructive the conflict was to not only the people but the landscape and towns. (My family fought on both sides at the Battle of Prairie Grove during the war. My Confederate grandfather survived the war, while my Union uncle succumbed to disease in a field hospital at Cassville, MO.).
You mentioned the revolutionary war. Two grandfathers were involved. They had signed the Bradford Accord that the declaration was patterned after Some cool family legends have been passed down. One served at Valley Forge. The other at Fort Pitt. I have a picture of their grandson and a rolling pin he made for my grandma. Daniel Mathias and Michael Sanior were their names Louis Mathius is grandmas grandpa
