This
is a photograph of
T.W. Smith,
maternal Grandfather of Samuel C. Braswell, at the age of fourteen
in his Union
Army uniform. Shortly before this picture was taken he and his
family had just survived the Great Sioux Uprising. Shortly after
seeing burning barns, fields and farm houses and being escorted to
safety, by no less than a group of the Sioux whom his family had
befriended, TW slipped back under the cover of the darkness of night
to get a cow so the little ones could have milk. The confrontation he
experienced raises goose bumps to this day and his father and mother
decided he should join the Army. If you look really close you can see
his nose is broken. T.W. had taken his shotgun for protection and
when he had to fire it, the gun was overloaded with gun powder and it
broke his nose. He served the uniform well surviving several historic
battles and I think he would be proud knowing that all of his male
descendents answered the Call To Colors when needed. Not one waited
to be drafted, they all enlisted!
