Hello Everyone
I am new here just discovered this site today. I am from southeast TN, and growing up in and around Chattanooga and Chicamauga it is only natural to be a Civil War buff.

"Your New-York bankers and merchants are shrewd people, but I never gave them credit for so much sagacity as when they took the Government Loan. It was not merely patriotism, it was a high stroke of policy. It has saved the Government, and what they will regard as equally important, saved them from a great financial disaster."
Don't worry, Jennifer. You'll find the group to be most friendly and helpful.

Welcome to the forum Jennifer. Don't worry about Battalion's take no prisoner comments. We've paroled him and he's broke parole, only to be captured again. Then we drive him at bayonet point back to his lines 'cause we can't feed him anyhow-but he keeps coming back. It must be the climate or maybe the water.
