GDG- In Defense of Peter

[CWMHTours at aol.com]

Williamsport where?
 
"Southern most battle in the east".
 
Now I've decided on Tampa as the Yanks raided there, I think,  twice.
 
It has to be Fla.
 
Nothing in Key West....   Ft Lauderdale- think they  raided there too.
 
That darn George.   He is far too clever for the  rest of us.
 
Your  Most Obedient Servant,
Peter

my ADD  meds....?

southern-most Civil War battle in the  East.
