    Giving a family heirloom to a museum is a wonderful way to preserve not only history but to preserve your family history in a greater context. Great stuff, ABT!

    My great great grandfather Theodore C Altman, I still have his journal from this battle. He was 59th OVI in reserve at this battle but fought at Stones River.

    Don't know if you have started a restore. But I use to work at a glass shop. When folks would bring in old old glass. My bosses eyes would light up. Find a old house from that time period. One that maybe you can score some of the old windows. Even a broke window. The frame is small. But adding the original period glass would really bring it out🖒🖒 time period glass had a wave, and lil blurry look to it. I've seen some old glass. We messed up😂😂 , and made one a mirror. We did antique mirror. We hung it in a bar downtown Nashville 😂 it had a "cat eye" in it super cool🖒

    I served 11 years army, my family served at this battle, My great great great grandfather was at this battle, Theodore C. Altman, 59th OVI (Ohio voulnteer Infantry). He survived this battle. We still live here in Kentucky to this day. Every family member from the Altman side has served since the founding of this country. His great grandfather was with Trubys Rangers of Westmoreland County PA at the founding of Pittsburgh, our family fled Germany because we were German Hessians
    I have my great great grandfathers belt buckle that he wore through the war.

      @@alonsocushing2398 I don't know maybe it's just me, but I would find parting with a historical artifact that's been in my family for generations very hard. I know they would take good care of it but still.

      One reason could be that no one in the family would have been interested in saving the artifacts

      If ya look at all the uniforms preserved in museums... They all look like they belong to teenagers.. folks on average were shorter and of smaller stature back then. Lee, Forrest, were considered large men at the time..
