Darn - and it just stopped there? I think Wiley has something - a little research and your way of writing could turn this into a great read...with an ending.

Very interesting, and maybe the beginning for an imaginative narrative that brings this tale to a satisfactory ending...

Makes me think of my Great-grandfather who fought in the Civil War and my Dad who, as a child, loved to listen to his tales, and then passed them on to his children many years later. The first time I ever heard that term "mustered out" was one of his tales when I was very small and all I could think of was that yellow stuff you put on wieners.

I can't help thinking reading this how short a life span people had, perhaps it just seemed adequate.
