History
While some of my family members were researching our genealogy records, they ran across the original court documents of our Great-Great Grandfather and his petition for a veterans pension of $32.20 per annum.
It is an interesting read especially if you are familiar with some of the history and areas where this all took place. It is also interesting in light of the current news about problems with the VA and the Walter Reed Hospital and about the poor way we treat our veterans has plenty of history behind it. Quote:

It took more time and patience than I have to dig it up. It was an aunt or cousin that went to all the court house to dig up the records.

It is a treasure, in the truest sense of the word, to have such a rich family history at your finger tips.
