Not just an eyewitness to the Civil War, but a participant

[Mr. Mojo]

I watched this a few months back and Julius has been in my YouTube sidebar ever since. Fascinating first hand account. His unusual accent struck me as one I’d never heard before.

I remember “Uncle Bill Lundy” from Crestview, Florida. He was the third to last survivor of the war. Actually I think it turned out that he was the very last as the two others both turned out to be frauds.

I guess he died in the 50s.

There’s a great picture of a Civil War veteran taken dressed in a flight suit with his leg up on a ladder attached to a Korean war fighter jet. I think an F86 but not sure.

GD politicians. That is all I have to say about it. Politics caused that war as well as most others.

And they say Prostitution is dirty? A politician is the lowest form of scum on earth.

There are some Freepers old enough that they could as children have heard firsthand stories from people who as children heard stories told by some of our nation's fathers.

Powerful, especially the last part.

I’ve seen a ‘50s tv show...IIRC it was “I’ve Got A Secret,” that had an elderly man on it who said he had witnessed Lincoln’s assassination.
