Author William 'Bill' Eshenbaugh shares his journey of discovering his family's rich history rooted in the Civil War era. Growing up on a family farm that has been in his family since the early 1800s, he reflects on the significance of heritage and the stories of courage and loss that shaped his ancestors' lives.

Bill discusses the impact of war on families, particularly the roles of women during these tumultuous times, and how these experiences inspired him to write historical fiction.

He emphasizes the importance of education, literacy, and preserving family stories, drawing parallels between the past and present polarization in society. Through his narrative, he highlights the resilience of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances and encourages listeners to explore their own family histories.
