<DIV>I think that's awesome Siarlys. Do you have a copy of the discharge papers? Or does someone in your family? If so, keep them! </DIV>

<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>_______________________________________________<BR>GCFL-discuss mailing list<BR>GCFL-discuss@gcfl.net<BR>http://gcfl.net/mailman/listinfo/gcfl-discuss<BR></BLOCKQUOTE><p>__________________________________________________<br>Do You Yahoo!?<br>Tired of spam?
