Voices of the Civil War --

In 2011 my local paper "The Virginian Pilot"

Did a 6 part series entitled
"VOICES OF THE CIVIL WAR"

I was interviewed and had a thing or two in the paper --

This was from week 4 --

After the series they came out with a book -

I finally bought a copy !

It was pretty fair and presented both sided of the war.

A segment on Black Union soldiers.

Also a segment on Yankee atrocities ( top left )

One part dealt with questionable Yankee activities.

But guess who had the last word ?

ME !

On the last page was my interview --

Not 100% accurate ( the reporter misquoted me on the rock throwing event.)

I don't recall the First Co Richmond Howitzers being at Second Manassas.

You can see the Howitzers history HERE !

But the rest of the segment was point on !

" Slavery was the sin of a nation. To lay it on the doorstep of the South is convenient, 

but it's not the whole truth."

I'm going to leave it ( the book ) to my Grandchildren.
