@exexec Very good idea!

@exexec I have some old pictures like this and I mostly keep them with me. They are labeled and in a safe place. They look well to do for that circa.

@Secretsmile Good. Genealogy is my hobby, so I share my old pics with others and get some in return. My wife's grandmother forgot she had a box of old pics, but we found them after she died. Probably 300 pics from around 1900-1920 and only half of them labeled. I managed to find one of Grannie's sisters who was able to ID some of them.

@Barefooter25 Yes, they did. Gen. Sherman's troops came through their property.

@exexec Maybe they actually spoke to Gen. Sherman himself.

@Barefooter25 No. There were just some troops out foraging for food and things to steal. The main force was north of there, on the way to Savannah.

My other great-great grandfather, their neighbor, was a POW and ended up in prison at Ft. Pulaski outside Savannah. I have the handwritten paper releasing him from prison. We don't know what he did, but we suspect he refused to sign an Oath of Allegiance after the war. He was required to sign since he was a local official.

@exexec He must have gone through hell in that camp. They weren`t all that well treated on either side.

He was lucky. Ft. Pulaski was where they sent a lot of the leading government officials of the Confederacy. I visited there a few years ago, and they had a casement set up like it was for the prisoners. Interesting.
