<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 2681710, member: 12789&quot;]My ancestry is there in MO, and the Civil War is something only discussed in close company.&nbsp; Like a lot of people there, my ancestors were on both sides of the conflict.&nbsp; I have three ancestors that fought in the battle of Lexington MO in Sept 1861, one Confederate and two Union.&nbsp; One of my Union ancestors was captured there and spent time in a Confederate prison until paroled out the following year.&nbsp; The Anderson house was used as a military hospital and is one of the absolute creepiest places I have ever been - there is a large dark stain in the floor upstairs from blood.&nbsp; The courthouse there in Lexington still has a cannonball lodged in it from that battle.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
