What a beautiful day on the east coast.....

[Auburnwine]

My great great grandfather was in the 5th Mississippi - Shiloh, Chicamauga, Missionary Ridge. Captured south of Chattanooga and spent the rest of the war in Cicero Prison, the Yankee's Andersonville. He was the only one of six brothers to survive the war.

My wife's great great grandfather was shredded with the rest of the 15th Alabama at Big Round Top.

What incomprehensible misery.

But on a lighter note - my 10-year-old's Sunday School class recently helped with an archaelogical site survey near Tuskegee. 8,000 year old stone chips and pottery shards. Way cool!
