Good evening all.
I have been busy sewing. I just finished two quilts for friends of ours son who just had his second baby. I made a quilt for the new baby and a NAP Quilt for the 2-year-old. It was fun and I get a lot of satisfaction from sewing.
Here is a photo from when I visited the local community college exhibition, Freedom Confirmed. Although no battles occurred on state soil, Michigan residents played a crucial role in the American Civil War. There were many items like the drum below that were on display. It was fun to learn why Michigan's role in the war was both important and heroic.
Unfortunately, the majority of the items were all under plexiglass. It was quite a challenge to deal with the lighting, glare, and reflections.
The info card in front of the drum said the following:
THIS DRUM BELONGED TO 13-YEAR-OLD WILLIE YOUNG. MOST YOUNG PEOPLE WHO JOINED THE ARMY AS DRUMMER BOYS ENLISTED WITH THEIR FATHER OR BROTHER. WILLIE YOUNG ENLISTED TOTALLY ON HIS OWN.
Can you imagine?
