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)[reply]

@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)[reply]
