When I saw this pattern, I immediately decided to make this quilt for my grandson Truman Brody-Boyd. As a teenager, Truman is extremely knowledgeable about Civil War history. He does Civil War reenactments, and at the age of ten, was reading Shelby Foote's three-volume history of the war. Incidentally, Truman's middle name is Hite.
