Life
Before my grandfather died, he use to talk about how his grandfather had fought for the Confederacy in the Civil War and had survived the Battle of Gettysburg.

I also learned that my grandmother's grandmother was half Sioux Indian and a member of the Lower Brule Tribe in South Dakota.

Eventually I will finish the book and I can share all of this.
