Boyd Civil War Chat

Today was another great Boyd Cousin Connection!  We focused on the Civil War.  Cousin Jane shared a number of scans from a small pocket book of John Boyd Sr.'s.  He carried this small book during the Civil War.  This little treasure held encouraging Bible verses, clippings and photos.  Several of the photos were new to all of us.
