Good heavens. I suspect any number of Civil War scholars and more than a few museums would LOVE to see what your father has. Kershaw played a major and well-known role in the battle of Gettysburg, for instance. You have me drooling now. How do I make an appointment with your father to see this stuff next time I'm in the neighborhood? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

He's out in Michigan and I'll be glad to arrange a meeting - one condition - I get to meet you!

He has kept it locked up and is very protective of it. I wish he would have the whole collection valued and insured - right now I am sure he has it under his homeowners policy. It'a a great collection with pictures, personal letters, a muster call list, and the journal. Like I said - Civil War is his passion!

Oh, goodness, I'd love to see all that. And if I ever get up that way I'll certainly look y'all up.
