This sounds like it would be a fascinating read without the added element of knowing this was your own ancestor. How harrowing! And, I am familiar with that what if discovery, Lori. I have an ancestor who went off at 21 to fight the Civil War. He was killed in his first battle. He left his new bride at home without knowing that she was pregnant. How easily the line could have just been broken right there. Talk about your close call!
