BlankThere are a couple of very interesting letters that have been posted to the Marion Archives recently. They are from John Deveraux Ashton to Rev. Hugh Oliver, son of Thaddeus Oliver. Thaddeus Oliver is believed to be the author of the famous Civil War time poem, "All Quiet Along the Potomac To-night," although others have claimed to be the author. Thaddeus Oliver was killed during the war, but was a citizen of Marion County and a member of the "Buena Vista Guards." The letters and poem are touching and speak to the emotions of war time life. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/marion/military/civilwar/other/oliver.txt Harris
