Firing on both sides was so inaccurate that soldiers estimated it took a man's weight in lead to kill a single enemy in battle. A Federal expert said that each Confederate who was shot required 240 pounds of powder and 900 pounds of lead.

It’s a brand New Year!

Hello All,
It’s a brand new year. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. My family and I sure did. Our oldest son was able to come home. It’s always great when the whole family can come together for the holiday.

I have been reading a lot of post of New Year’s resolutions. Years ago I used to make resolutions only to have them go to the way side so I stopped making them. Instead, I make one list and simply tittle it with the year’s date “2012.” On the list I put everything I know I can accomplice and things I want to accomplice. The list is everything from itty bitty items to long drawn out projects like projects for the house, traveling, places to go locally, read more and yes see anything Civil War related. Then beside the main item I take it further and include any details for example Civil War. I list everything I want to see and do then beside each topic I list where it’s located, what’s it about, date etc. Of course I have a few places that go on the New Year’s list every year. Someday I hope I can finally mark them off.

I have discovered this is the best way for me to stay the course to accomplice what I want to get done for the year. Guess you can call some of these goals to work towards but I don’t call them that.

Right now I still have several books to read and review that I received before Christmas but was unable to get too. Now that everything is back to normal I have finally been able to pick them back up again.

Be Healthy and Safe in the New Year!
