My wife went shopping yesterday afternoon so I thought I’d watch a movie. I found one on Netflix that sounded interesting called Pharaoh’s Army based on a true story. It’s about a mother and her only child since the recent death of his sister. Living on the Tennessee and Kentucky boarder during the civil war. Neighbors turned against each other over the conflict and since her husband had gone to fight the war for the South she was a staunch confederate.They had very little but enough to get by when a Union force of five men showed up in her yard and demanded food to take back to there company five miles away. There was nothing she and her 12 year old boy could do but watch as they took every thing they had left, to survive from the hard winter. As luck would have it one of the youngest in group of soldiers fell from a ladder in the barn on a sharp stick and they had to stay while he healed from the wound. Watch the movie to get the rest of the story but I thought about my Great Grandfather and his family that lived in southern Missouri who fought for the Union during that terrible time when a bullet could come from anywhere. Some how they survived and he went on to join the state militia to keep the peace after the war was over. Then a song comes to mind “God is Great Beer is Good and People are Crazy”………
