Hi Virginia, how are ya?
Oh yes, I have all of the Civil War movies, magazines, calendars, books
and documentaries that I can get my hands on. What I don't find, my family
keps an eye out for me and makes gifts out of them for me. And I "still"
learn something new with all of it. Battles in VA and WV were fought on many
of my families farms and I have their stories also. I just love all of it.
Thanks for your comments.
