I just love to hear these informative backgrounds for all the images. It just amazes me that no person from the images has the same story, and it underscores how important all the images of the civil war continue to be. Thank you so much for your work.
Great story ❤ love the western campaign stuff
What a fascinating story! I have many questions. I wonder what the story is of his first wife and the 4th child. So much there for a long form piece on the family.

Standard understanding among slaves in the South, according to an American historian I was married to for many years, was if you saw a good chance to get away, you took it.
Thank you for your research 🔬 love all the stories and the way you present them!
Always interesting stuff on this channel!
You should learn to pronounce Wabash. The accent is on the second syllable. Wa bash'.
So he left all his kids behind because his wife cheated on him. Yeah sounds like a nice guy
Mostly a good story, a shame he abandoned his wife and children.
