    Your 1865 blog needs to be about something that happened in 1865, not 1863.

A letter to my family (Sebastian Warren)

Dear Larry and Sara                                 It has been another year in the war and another year without seeing you two.  I miss the both of you dearly and wish I could come home.  In the last year a lot has happened for the war.  Two warships made of iron fought in the sea and ended up both leaving.  And we won a battle at  Shiloh Tennessee, but a very bloody one.  We also lost again at Bull Run.  One of the worst fights was Antietam,  we thought because we had the enemy plans we could take them easily and win quickly.  We were surprised at how well the enemy troops set up and it turned out to be a full out bloodbath.  We ended up winning but not without casualties. I miss you very much Yours truly Stephen Taylor .
