The Confederate Soldier

This is merely a beginning of what could be an excellent collection that would be valuable to descendants.  We should collect whatever personal correspondence might be available and scan these letters to archive at TSUD.  Remember, if you keep this in your personal collection who will preserve it for the next?  Sadly, often our children do not share our knowledge or care,  and those who might need the information will forever be denied it.  This is not a place for modesty and humility or political correctness in "filtering" our history.  It is what it is and we have become who we are because of the dialectic of the association of all of the players on the grand stage of history.
