A town, a house, a war, and a book

 This is a post from my Living in Black Mountain blog...FYI. 

Town = Marshall NC. 

House = The Allen house. 

War = Civil War. 

Book = And the Crows Took Their Eyes.


Posted so those who are interested will know of the book reading on April 14 at the Black Mountain Library 10:00 am - noon with author Vicki Lane.


Today's quote:

I dream of giving birth to a child who will ask, "Mother, what was war?" 

-Eve Merriam, poet and writer (19 Jul 1916-1992)

      For a war story where neighbors ended up fighting against neighbors, it was a griping story.
