PRICELESS Mrs. Roberson came to one of our SCV Camp meetings a in 2002( Sgt. Ivy Ritchie Camp 1734 in Stanly Co. NC) It was very interesting to hear about Eli's adventures. I have both of the books too and you are right, the information that is in those letters is priceless. The common man, writing about the war and why he was fighting in it. Not the official or the politically correct version, just a farmer that was fighting for what he believed in. Edward, I have enjoyed the articles that you have been posting. Thank you Eddie
