poignant indeed.
and very nice of ancestry.com to give free access to civil war records until thursday. As you read about the seige of Vicksburg, know that I had a direct descendant captured just before @ Big Black, then his father captured July 4 @ Vicksburg. The elder was paroled, captured at a later battle, and died of starvation as a p.o.w.. Hope to get to Annapolis one day to visit him. The irony is that he enlisted as a substitute for a drafted wealthy businessman....some things remain the same.
