A Different kind of Civil War Battle..fought with .. SNOWBALLS.

  Hi again. With all that is going on in our world.. especially the tragedies that have befallen our neighbors with storms.. and others feeling heartbreaking loss..I found it hard to add to that vision of sadness..at this time of year.

So what better than to carry on, think good thoughts, and find stories from the time of our American Civil War that were a little more upbeat. Less blood shed in these wintertime stories when soldiers faced each other with weapons.. that even a child could appreciate.SNOWBALLS !

Yea SNOWBALLS.. here are a few links to stories of the winter Civil War soldier who in his pastime found a way to get out a bit of the terror he normally faced..replaced with the memories and feelings of his childhood. Even if it was for just a few moments.

*Army of Northern Virginia ..January 29, 1863

*Rebel and Yank Snowball Fights- several stories

*The Great Snowball Battle of Rappahannock Academy, February 25, 1863

Have a Wondeful Holiday and a very Merry Christmas
