When I read in the description of the cover of the book that there was blood dripping from the leg, he wanted to find it. Then he asked me to scan it to put in his book. We're getting somewhere!
"Gules, three dexter arms vambraced argent and embowed, the hands closed proper.
A dexter arm vambraced and embowed argent, the hand grasping an armed leg couped it the thigh and bleeding."
I got my son interested in genealogy by tying his family history with U.S. & World history.... basically war stuff. :-)
ReplyDeleteThey have an war of 1812 veteran ancestor and a French & Indian war ancestor. He really wanted someone in the civil war, so I was able to dig up a g-g-uncle and he read about the Rock Island barracks where he served. Now he is in college and is a history preservation major. So I guess the genealogy history lessons paid off. :-)
