In addition, I'd like to write more about the place during the war, but so far my problem has been finding enough information to do a full-blown post beyond the factoid about it being used as a stable by Union troops. I think I also read once about artillery shells falling into the graveyard there during the second engagement at Lewinsville.Ron Baumgartenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12449787740945022061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2972158399131973757.post-29498045185827289472013-07-21T20:51:22.496-04:002013-07-21T20:51:22.496-04:00Ron, it was good of you to dig into Oaks and uncov...Ron, it was good of you to dig into Oaks and uncover a bit of his history. Have you ever had contact with Lewinsville Presbyterian Church? I wonder what sort of archives it might have that might shed further light into its possible/likely usage of this book? Seems like a history of the church in the run-up to, during, and right after the Civil War might be an interesting post.

This is certainly one of the more interesting things that has happened to me since I started blogging! I love how technology can help bring people together--without the Internet and blogging, I am not sure if I ever would have talked with Susan and discovered this book! And without on-line resources, Oaks' story would have remained a mystery until I could have gotten to the Archives!Ron Baumgartenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12449787740945022061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2972158399131973757.post-77263528280002938442013-07-17T19:46:29.358-04:002013-07-17T19:46:29.358-04:00What a fascinating story.
