MJL, New enough (moved to article space on November 23), long enough, interesting enough. Prefer ALT1 both both are good. QPQ done and Earwig doesn't detect any copyvios. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 21:37, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote this, but I don't see the quote attributed to footnote 3 in that source, and that source also said he heard these accounts as "a young man", not "a child". Yoninah (talk) 19:57, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

@Yoninah: Woops! I mixed up the Kentucky and Uky sources there. The Kentucky one includes the quote and says: "...Roland recalled as a boy hearing firsthand accounts of the Civil War from those who fought in it." which I editorialized as child.
This is now fixed. –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 20:20, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
