At least there is some ray of hope, and that is how they have survived this long. Maybe some day we all will be able to have the joy of reading, and possibly owning copies. Dorene J.

THANKS for the info re: the items for sale. I sent it on to my cousin, Steve, in KY. because he has added a wing with several rooms to his home for his huge collection of Civil War artifacts. In fact, he has been called by the TV program, "Histories Mysteries" to help solve Civil War mysteries. He also has written a regimental history for the regiment in which our great grandfather served. Since he is retired, he may want to look into attending this sale. E. Kaspar
