It’s crazy it’s only been about 56000 days since the civil war.

When I was in my 30s, I duck hunted with my great Uncle. This was like 15 years ago. I knew the man well.

When he was born, he lived in the same house with, and spoke every day to his grandfather. Who was captured at the Battle of Mobile. Was paroled and walked home at the age of 16.

I am not even 50 years old. But I knew a man well, who knew a man well, who fought in the Civil War.
