re: #394 HappyWarrior

I think it was even more recent than that. Funnily enough, I remember a book on my grandmother’s bookshelf called Oldest Confederate Widow Tells all. I never did read it but I always wondered about people like that. Interestingly enough, my grandmother had a life like that herself. Born in 1912 the fall after the Titanic sank and died in early 2005. Fascinating woman. She’s a big part of why I do genealogy.

I did read it—it was pretty interesting, but they must have paid the editor/proofreader in Monopoly money. I mostly remember that it had so many typos, it was almost unreadable.
