<DIV>My great-great-grandfather from eastern Tennessee served in the United
States army from 1861-1865. I don't know of a diary, but his discharge
papers were signed by President Abraham Lincoln. I think his health was OK
when he left the army but the Ku Klux Klan tried to burn his house down a
couple of times in later years. He had some cousins who were veterans of
attempts to invade the United States in 1862 and 1863, and I have heard that
they kept shooting at each other for years after the war
ended.</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
