Invited guests included ancestors of the dead soldiers from as far away as Rhode Island and Pennsylvania ...

I just want to know if any of the dead Civil War soldiers' ancestors showed up. And I want to see the pictures, too.

(Undead, Typso, North Carolina, and Civil War interest.)

Nice story.

As much as the author would like, living in Maine for a bit doesn't make him a Main-ah. Anymore than relocating from Maine to NC (as I did) makes me a southerner.

At best, he might be able to fool some of the tourists. :-) Good on the locals for taking him down a notch or two.

Can't blame him for wanting to move back to NC, though. No snow. Good food. (I'd never heard of hushpuppies and barbeque until I moved here!) No fools from Mass/NY/NJ everywhere you look. 'Tis a fine place to live, and I'm glad that the locals 'round these parts put up with me.

Now, if I can jut get my Mother in law to stop introducing me as "That Yankee Republican", I'll be all set.
