Christine, thank you for sharing your family history. My ancestors from Europe were not even in the U.S. by 1862. Was your ggg with Sherman on his march to the sea and did he fight until the end of the war and did he survive the war?This is my favorite period in history. I read Gone With The Wind for the first time at age 10 and I've been hooked ever since.
Your 5 quilts for your family members are so special!
