Hello!
I just want to introdue myself! I've loved the Civil War for going on 5 years now and have just sarted reenacting within the last 5 months.
I'm really interested in the roles of children and "boy" soliders.

You seem a bit old at 165 years to be joining this board, but all are welcome young and old. Don't know if that was funny or not, but I tried. You have chosen a good group of folks from which to learn and to share your knowledge and interests as we all learn together. This is a great place. Climb aboard!

Hey Miss Belle, welcome to the board. Nice to have another Tarheel with us. There is actually a member with that name on the board, though I don't think he's visited us for a while. Hope you enjoy it. Looking forward to your posts.

Welcome to the Forum Southern_Belle. Sorry but I can't help you as my specialty is in the war is kill'n folks (historical study & not actual homicide - I'm squemish).
