You and I are the only members of Library Thing who have "When War Passed This Way". I first saw this book when I was staying at the B&B on the Antietam battlefield. The "house sitter" that night was a licensed tour guide for the battlefield and he was raving about that book. I picked it up the first chance I could.

Nor the kindly smile nor the joy of companionship;
It is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one,
When they discover that someone else believes in them
And is willing to trust them."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
" All things are possible until they are proved impossible.
And even the impossible may only be so, as of now."
-- Pearl S. Buck
