Personal Military Story:

Proud Member of:
The Army of The Ohio

   They had run out of ammo for the cannons, so they used nails,chains,anything that they could find went into the cannons.
   When there was no drinking water they were told to cut leather off of their shoes and chew it to get salt out of the leather and help with their thirst.
   Francis was hid in a trundle bed of a negro family to prevent him from being captured by Confederate soldiers.
