Curiosity about my great-grandmothers name, Margaret Henry Hughes, was the force behind the writing of this book. Searching what few records survived, I was surprised to discover her parents were a Volunteer Union Kentucky Cavalry soldier, Henry Hughes, and the daughter of a farmer in Confederate Georgia, Eliza Anne Tucker. Coming from opposite worlds, they met, fell in love, and married during the Civil War.
The Union troops, of which Henry was a part, were occupying Elizas small hometown of LaFayette, Georgia, in the summer of 1864. The circumstances that allowed them to meet, fall in love, and marry are fascinating. This story tells how the war brought them together and also how it made their lives very difficult. Their time together was cut short when the Union forces left LaFayette shortly after they married. For months Henry was involved in military action, facing the dangers of the war. They drew strength from the letters they received from each other.
After my research, my curiosity was satisfied to find out why their daughter was named Margaret Henry Hughes. At the end of the war in 1865, Henry was involved in a dramatic event that most Americans have never heard about. Henry Hughes was among the thousands of soldiers who served our country during the Civil War. Since that time, many of those soldiers have become nameless, faceless, and forgotten. Like my great-great-grandmother Eliza, it is my hope that Henry Hughess service and memory will not be left in the forgotten cobwebs of history.

Autoren-Porträt von Beth L. Davis
Proud to live in the state where she was born, Beth L. Davis calls Texas her home. She is self-employed as a seamstress and dressmaker. Sewing is the activity she enjoys the most, and for many years, she has had a successful business sewing for the public. She is also an award-winning watercolor portrait artist, and she writes poetry. She takes pride in what she creates, whether it is an original dress design, an emotion-provoking portrait, or a book. She is married and has three sons and two stepsons, whose families include ten grandchildren and step-grandchildren.Inspired by a strong sense of family history, Beth has researched much of her family ancestry. Her research has revealed ancestors who traveled from England on the Mayflower, ancestors who traveled from Scotland, ancestors who served in the American Revolutionary War, ancestors who fought in the American Civil War, both Union and Confederate. Her parents, brother, and son have served in modern military conflicts with the US Navy and US Army.
She has been captivated and thrilled by some of the dramatic stories she has found in her family research. So much so that she has suggested to her family members that they begin writing their own stories so that current family history and significant events will not be lost from the next generation's knowledge. She recognizes it takes only one generation for a family to forget those life-changing events. Preserved legal documents are valuable for the facts they represent, but the stories written and told by one generation to the next are the priceless insights into their personal experiences. Her writing is intended to preserve and pass these family stories to the next generation.
