    Here in INDIANA we love our HISTORY. FYI the youngest to serve in the Civil War a Boy from Indianapolis last name Black (a drummer) I believe his age was 7/8 his Drum is at the Indianapolis Children's museum he was injured in the war he later died several years later they believed from traumas from the war (now some of my facts are possibly off because I have had a stroke). The museum does have the drum & it is in storage right now but they take it out from time to time. IT is so important that we remember these wars/conflicts the things & of course these people so we don't repeat history. GOD BLESS YOU ✝️🇺🇸💖🚜

It was him who got me into history in the first place and has *several* of the items you showed in his room. My parents live up near South Bend so the next time I head up that way, I will be sure to stop at the museum and think of my husband. Thank you for doing this vlog.
