Thursday night we went to the Salt Lake City Library, and went to hear a talk from Thomas Chidsey he talked about his Great Grandfather and his life and read some letters that he had written during the Civil War. He talked about a prayer book that his Great Grandfather found on a dead soldier, that he had stopped to bury. The book has been his family for years and it had only one name on it. Through the use of the Internet they found the Parish where this book belonged, and he told us how they returned it to this church that the soldier had come from.
It was an interesting evening, and it was the first time I had ever gone to the new Library.
