Incredible find, absolutely a once in a lifetime find - and it couldn't have happened to a nicer person! So glad that you found this and took the time to research this soldier. How heartbreaking to find your suspicions confirmed about his sickness and dying. At so young an age....yes, how important to remember what these young men sacrificed for our sake. Thank you for taking time to share these memories with us.<br /><br />P.S. - We live near Chattanooga, and thus the battlefield is not so far away!!! It IS a beautiful place.<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />"Her" and RomeoRomeohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10931122737257172540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437719015636615640.post-23329839708059685132012-06-03T19:54:36.097-05:002012-06-03T19:54:36.097-05:00The find is museum quality, and so hard to find! ...The find is museum quality, and so hard to find! There are local museums in VA near me who display lots of Civil Warm memorabilia, that don't have such treasures, but do have a lot of things that tell the story of how the soldiers lived, which holds endless fascination for me. I would have gotten goose bumps after reading it, and I'm glad you have it, and hold in regard high respect for this young man who took up arms for his country; war is ugly, and he paid a dear price at such a young age.Mar gar ethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09458221138063169707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437719015636615640.post-462016749627676042012-05-26T16:33:25.715-05:002012-05-26T16:33:25.715-05:00Jan, How very touching.
