    Federal Memorial Tartan

    We see many Confederate Memorial tartan kilts - which is fine. My great great grandfathers fought for the Union though. John Hunt Morgan's raid, Jubal Early's raid on Washington D.C., and the Tennessee campaigns.

    When the war was over one returned to his farm in Illinois and he was so gaunt and dirty when he arrived his wife took him for a marauder and had him in her sights when the family dog recognized him so she held fire.

    I wear the tartan for their service. The kilt just came back from my kiltmaker in a new smaller size...
