Lucinda Brock was a great, great, great aunt of mine. I have a copy of the paper she filled out detailing her loss in corn to the Union Army, the certificate and an order for what she was to be paid, $450.00. It is uncertain whether she was actually paid that money, for many people never received anything from the Government. In the story, I let her be paid. I wrote the paper in this story just as she did, mistakes and all. That paper names two daughters she referred to. Evangeline is a fictitious character and a name I made up, not wanting to use the real names of Lucinda's daughters.…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
Lucinda Brock was a great, great, great aunt of mine. I have a copy of the paper she filled out detailing her loss in corn to the Union Army, the certificate and an order for what she was to be paid, $450.00. It is uncertain whether she was actually paid that money, for many people never received anything from the Government. In the story, I let her be paid. I wrote the paper in this story just as she did, mistakes and all. That paper names two daughters she referred to. Evangeline is a fictitious character and a name I made up, not wanting to use the real names of Lucinda's daughters. Villanow is a real place with the old brick store still there. We go by it when we visit family in LaFayette, Georgia. Every time we drive through Snake Creek Gap going to LaFayette and then coming back home, I think about General McPherson and his army spending the night there. There is a historical marker at the place where the road to Resaca is taken. The town of Resaca is just off I-75 below Dalton, Georgia and near Calhoun. On the west side of I-75 there is an entrance to the Resaca Battlefield Historical Site. And on that road, I try to imagine where Lucinda Brock lived. Lucinda Brock died in 1881, at the age of 68. May all her descendants rise up and call her blessed.
