Who are the Sons of Confederate Veterans? 

The citizen-soldiers who fought for the Confederacy personified the best qualities of America. The preservation of liberty and freedom was the motivating factor in the South's decision to fight the Second American Revolution. The tenacity with which Confederate soldiers fought underscored their belief in the rights guaranteed by the Constitution. These attributes are the underpinning of our democratic society and represent the foundation on which this nation was built. 

Today, the Sons of Confederate Veterans is preserving the history and legacy of these heroes, so future generations can understand the motives that animated the Southern Cause.

About the Sons of Confederate Veterans

The SCV is the direct heir of the United Confederate Veterans, and the oldest hereditary organization for male descendants of Confederate soldiers. Organized at Richmond, Virginia in 1896, the SCV continues to serve as a historical, patriotic, and non-political organization dedicated to insuring that a true history of the 1861-1865 period is preserved.

Membership in the Sons of Confederate Veterans is open to all male descendants of any veteran who served honorably in the Confederate armed forces. Membership can be obtained through either direct or collateral family lines and kinship to a veteran must be documented genealogically. The minimum age for full membership is 12, but there is no minimum for Cadet Membership. read more.........

I thought his was such a good story and Tom literally had everyone from TV, Radio and Magazines chasing after him all week. Tom's is one of the many interviews we hosted last week. His name and story are just beginning to be told. He is such a funny, humble and gracious fellow I wanted to take this chance to introduce him to you and let you hear his story in his own words.

American Pickers - Civil War Finds

American Pickers – Hey everyone I just got off the phone with the rep from American pickers. They had sent an request to find people and items (Civil War related for the show). This is legitimate and also not a normal show. Fair market value will be paid for items and those items purchased will go in “display” not hidden away in a museum chosen by the history channel. They are looking for individuals not dealers. We have offered to have them on the show to explain more. If you are interested contact me at craiganderson@ourhistoryproject.com and I will get you in touch with the right people.

John Ledyard Chapter 5

Chapter 5 - The Life and Travels of John Ledyard by Jared Sparks

This week we pick up John’s story at Hawaii, just before Captain Cooks death and it ends with his return to England. There is a huge contrast to their first arrival in Hawaii and their second. I will reserve personal comments on this book until the end so not to shape any opinions. We may even do a live show and online chat for anyone who would like to participate when it is completed.

Note: There were several instances my curiosity peaked in this chapter on the known world and references to the names described. It is my intent to pull some screen shots as reference or to provide links. The David Rumsey Collection which is usual my primary source was down as I was compiling this so I went to my backup the University of Alabama (http://alabamamaps.ua.edu/historicalmaps/index.html) and referenced the map A New Map of the World with the Latest Discoveries, Boston: Thomas & Andrews, 1806; Engraved for Morse's Abridgement of Geography and London: Fisher, Son & Co., 1825.
