It's my pleasure Ann. I have hundreds of Civil War photos that I'd be more than happy to share!

Belle, I love that photo. I'm an animal lover, and especially a dog lover. Custer? We could start a whole new board (thread) on him. I don't know. The jury's still out on him as far as I'm concerned, what with his history with the American Indians. But I suppose just strictly judging from his performance in the CW he pulled his weight a little better than some others.
