My dad got a first hand account of the Civil War from the local Civil War vet back in the 1930's. The guy was in his 90's by then but, would be downtown at the local store playing dominoes with the locals. He would tell of his war experiences to the young kids when they asked. My dad remembers the old guy saying how he charged up Missionary Ridge and a Reb minie ball rolled out of his shirt sleeve.
