Great-great-great-granddaughter of a Civil War Veteran in the Union Army. This is a historical blog of the Civil War. From the fall of Fort Sumter in 1861 to the surrender at Appomattox Couthouse in 1865, every battle with stops along the way. Your welcome to stay for a bit and reminisce. We begin in the year 1861... Special thanks to my distant cousins Bonnie Fletcher Eggert and Glen Fletcher for the many, many photos you see posted here. Bless your hearts for remembering our relatives!

Rock of Ages by Thomas Hastings
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in Thee; let the water and the blood, from Thy wounded side which flowed, be of sin the double cure; save from wrath and make me pure. Not the labor of my hands can fulfill Thy law’s demands; could my zeal no respite know, could my tears forever flow, all for sin could not atone; thou must save, and Thou alone. Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to the cross I cling; naked, come to Thee for dress; helpless look to Thee for grace; foul, I to the fountain fly; wash me, Savior, or I die. While I draw this fleeting breath, when mine eyes shall close in death, when I soar to worlds unknown, see Thee on Thy judgment throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in Thee.

Have you ever been to the civil war re-enactment at the circle K apple orchard in the fall? It happens every year at their apple festival. I have been to it several times and always find it to be a powerful experience. Some years they bring a real cannon along and shoot it (as a demonstration, of course- not a part of the re-enactment!!)
