Jason, I've often wondered if it's possible to meet some of those folks from that era, when my time comes to cross over to the other side. Yeah I know it sounds hokey and kind of lame, but wouldn't it be a reward in itself, just to be able to find your favorite Civil War participant, and actually be able to ask him/her the questions that you've had in your mind for years?
It's a no-brainer for me. If I could, I'd look up Mr. Lincoln. I've got a boat-load of questions for him if I ever had the chance to meet with him. I'm under no illusions that a chance for an encounter with him, is at all likely or even remotely possible, however brief, ...but it's fun to think about it once in a while.
Good thread, Jason. Brings about pleasant thoughts, at least for me.
Terry
