Chaney story timely, remembering Civil War And on shared heritage of being half Confederate, half rebel Jackson Brower writes: Tom Chaney is a great writer of history who seems to tell a lot that most folks are probably unaware of about important local history in the 1800s that had profound effects on the whole country. This is very appropriate, since 2013 marks the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. It's very interesting that Adair County was half Confederate and half Union. Leonard Burton of Pellyton was very knowledgeable about local civil war history. Speaking of half rebel - half yankee, I'm that way, too...my mom's ancestors from PA fought for the Union, and my dad's kin from NC fought for the Confederacy. - Jackson BrowerComments re article 59658 Tom Chaney Margaret Vance Anderson Glasgow native 2013-05-24 08:45:35 | Comments | Printable version
