The last surviving Civil War Veteran - with solid documentation to back up the claim - died in 1956. There is one competing claim for a man who died in 1959, but the claim lacks solid supporting evidence.Here's a thought for fairgambit and the rest of us who are over 60....
We've been around for over 25% of our country's history.
My grandparents, who were born at the end of the 19th century, knew people who had fought in the Civil War. In some ways, our country is not so old.
It is amazing. My paternal grandfather was born in 1880. When he was 15, he could have met someone in their 90's who had spoken with Thomas Jefferson when they were in their 20's.Here's a thought for fairgambit and the rest of us who are over 60....

I love this stuff. The last verifiable veteran of the American Revolutionary War died in 1868. I'm a whippersnapper compared to you fellas, but my paternal grandfather was born in 1875 and my paternal grandmother in 1879.It is amazing. My paternal grandfather was born in 1880.

So it is possible that my great-grandfather, who I believe was born in 1854, as a teen, could have spoken to someone who had fought in the Revolutionary War. Wow.I love this stuff. The last verifiable veteran of the American Revolutionary War died in 1868. I'm a whippersnapper compared to you fellas, but my paternal grandfather was born in 1875 and my maternal grandmother in 1879.
