How awesome it is that you have this much information on him that far back in the family, not to mention the totally awesome pictures as well. This is very patriotic.

Wow!! He is lucky to have survived the amputation back then, under the conditions they had to work in. What a strong man and just kept going. Awesome tribute to him!!

Absolutely terrific layout! Your journaling is awesome and your photos are A+. Truly a delightful page. BTW, I lived in Spotsylvania's neighboring county for 20 years and the history in this area is awesome.
