Then Slowly Came the Aged Soldiers - Paperback

by Curt Sanders (Author)

What you are about to read is non-fiction, true stories, massaged out of the military and pension records of the subjects, local news- papers, and other sources of information. This narrative is not a de- finitive genealogical or Civil War history of the larger family (but stay tuned). This second edition is an update in some content and book for- matting. The stories you are about to read are mined directly from the pension records of the veterans and their relatives, and from many primary, and secondary sources and stories handed down digitally or orally. It is an account of postbellum celebration of life, poverty and the struggle of an army of pensioners.
