A friend recommended this forum to me and I have been reading some of the post and it looked interesting. I have been fascinated with the study of the Civil War for many years, but still I find that I have barely scratched the surface because it is such an extensive subject. Looking forward to learning more and meeting new people with the same interests.
Dear WildWoodFlower, welcome and greetings to one of the best boards on the Civil War around. I am sure you will enjoy your time here as this board is lively and informative. Glad to have another new person on board and look forward to hearing your views.
Sincerely,
Unionblue

Welcome, WildWoodFlower! You'll like it here. And since I'm at it, welcome to all the new guys and gals I didn't get a chance to greet because I was AWOL.
I want to thank everyone for the nice welcome. I am sure I will enjoy this forum and learn a lot of new things about the Civil War.
By the way, does anyone know that the song "Wild Wood Flower" is supposed to have origins in the Civil War? At least, that is what I have read. Does anyone know if this is true or not?
Wow, seems like I found this a little late, but I would still like to welcome you, WildWoodFlower. I'm sure the people here will be able to help you answer your questions.
