Dear June, Not a problem for me, I could see someone going back and altering an original. I think it interesting that someone cared so much to do this for posterity. I certainly didn't know this person was the first person killed in the Civil War. Now I do. Heck I hope it is NEVER on a history quiz or game show, but someone here would be able to answer. Again thank you for all you do in sharing with us your interesting finds and tidbits of information.
