November reminds us to give thanks for the many blessings we enjoy. Tomorrow U.S. citizens exercise their right to vote. In a country that seems divided, James Polk shares a story this month that recalls the trials of his ancestors who weathered a national conflagration. The Wartime Journals of Levi and Adaline Keller
reveals the story of, not only, the heartbreak and tragedy of a soldier in the Civil War, but also the heartbreak and trials of the family left at home. This story is told in five segments that appear in the Senior Savvy Trail Tales Column. The fifth and final installment will appear in the February 2021 edition.
