"Stump the Yankee"

[BettyO]

Joe, thanks a ton! LOVE the "She Rebel" reference!

But I wonder....with all the research I've done on the Bransons, I've found that the term "cousin" was utilized by many southern women as an affectionate term for the many Confederate soldiers that they were attempting to aid. The Branson ladies referred to Lew Powell as their cousin as well as referring to other rebel POW's in the same vein....

So this lady's "cousin" in the Northern prison camp may not in truth actually have been her kinsman....
