WOW, Neil that link is really cool. Just took a quick scan for a couple of
minutes, printed it out and will read tonight. Must be really something
when you know it's your own relatives being discussed.

Subject: RE: ice racing
Russ;
It was because West Virginians are "as independent as a hog
on ice".
Foraging did go on to some extent but it wasn't really
serious or widespread
there. My great-great Aunt started a diary in January of
1863 when she was
fifteen years old and it was handed down in the family. She
noted that one
afternoon some Confederate (she called them "Secesh"-- short
for
secessionists or "rebs") cavalry stopped at their farm house
in French Creek
for rest and to water their horses. She wrote that they had
supper in the
house but the Lieutenant kept his men well behaved and they
didn't take
anything.
If anyone is interested here are a few excerpts:
