Jack has several interests and hobbies. Foremost of those interests and hobbies is the Civil War.
He reads everything he can get his hands on about the subject, and can answer anything thrown his way, mostly without hesitating.
His second interest is one I find fascinating. He likes to draw and paint most anything. Many of those he turns into charcoal drawings.
Some time back, someone gave him an old photo of an ancestor and asked Jack if he could put him in the proper uniform he would have worn while serving in the Civil War.
Jack did this and word got around. Other people began to bring their old photos for him to do the same. One of those photos ended up in a museum in Arkansas!
We did scan some of his work. Unfortunately we didn't think to scan each of them at the time, so we don't have them all.
I hope you enjoy his work as much as I do! These are not his ancestors, but who knows, maybe you will recognize someone!
