Well, gosh-a-mighty, sure I knew that. Many of the former soldiers, as old men, married very young women. Shoot--a couple of months ago, I interviewed an 82-year-old lady for our church newsletter, and she said her FATHER told her he
remembered seeing Civil War soldiers marching by his home when he was a child. Still and all, it was 140 years ago.
Pretty remarkable. Nice music on the site, too!
