The title of this blog is “Happiness & Long Life”, however; war is neither. William Tecumseh Sherman of Civil War fame stated “War is hell”. Still, some of us tend to romanticize past wars being “Monday night quarterbacks” to events that happened long ago and were so ugly that only those involved in the modern military should study so as to not repeat the horrors. Thousands of volumes have been written about the Civil War so today I hope to briefly honor those from Erie County and the surrounding region who served in the American Civil War.
