Mr. Quist,
That was you! Thank you! A cousin sent me that book "Cush..." after he found me and I found he had a website of our relative's letters (in the 40th AL) Then another cousin gave me 5 more letters which he posted. The book helped to explain some of the stuff that was in the Simmons letters as I didn't know anything about the regiment at the time so the letters were mostly disjointed subjects and places. Really enjoyed the book!
