One of my favorite bluegrass/Americana songs. It reminds me of my Great-Grandfather x3 (Confederate), My Great-Grandfather x3 and my Great-Uncle x2 (Union) and their hardships during the Civil War.

Enjoy!

Nice.

I had a great great grandfather who died at Andersonville.

My wife's great grandfather was a Union 'doctor'. She found his discharge papers while looking
through piles of 'stuff' left by her mother.

The best we can tell, most of my ancestors were still in Europe during
the Civil War ... except possibly a few Cherokees (still undetermined)

Some of my wife's ancestors here, including the Cherokees, date back to
just after the Revolutionary War. All of my grandparents and great
uncles and aunts, as far as I know, were Europeans whose families
arrived between 1880 and 1920. My parents and my uncles were born in
Boston and Philly.

Some of my maternal grandmother's people may have been down there on
St George Island during the civil war but they were probably smugglers
;-)

That whole area of Southern Md was a hotbed of spies, smugglers and
confederate sympathizers. They were more closely aligned with Virginia
than the union.

They still are!
