your chance

No question about it. I would go back and talk to my ggg uncles with the 91st Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, Sergeant Cyrus Cartledge and Private James Cartledge. Cyrus was wounded in the attack of the front face of LRT. He took a ball to the rib cage, it embedded itself at the base of his spine. He was removed from the field, but the ball was unable to be removed due to it's location. He survived the war, but died from complications of that wound in 1878 at the young age of 35.

Thomas Jackson.......not trying to be funny here. I would have loved to talk to him and experience the drive, the determination, the conviction that the man had that seemed to be so lacking in the ANV after his death.
