The Music: "Somebody's Darlin'"

READ THE WORDS

If you can.


Featuring the Flags of the
Confederate States of America

1861 - 1865

and My Ancestors who so bravely fought and died for a Cause in which they
believed during the War Between the States.

THESE I HONOR!

THIS IS MY HERITAGE.


Among the many chores performed by women, both North and South, during the
War Between the States was the making of dressings for wounds. Lint was
pulled from old clothes and fashioned into an absorbant packing that was
used by surgeons in military hospitals to staunch bleeding.

A sad but beautiful song, "PICKING LINT", was written to honor the women
who were making these bandages.
