Hi Kathy - saw you briefly in chat today. Hope we didn't scare you away. I saw in your profile that you are related to Barksdales and that's why I asked if you had Civil War ancestors. There was a General William Barksdale at Gettysburg. Stephen Sears describes Gen Barksdale's action at the Peach Orchard as leading his men into battle at the front of the line, hat off, white hair flowing as he ran. Interesting. I have a part time job in Gettysburg.
