GDG- Jenny Wade, the Heroine of Gettysburg

<< Her sister Georgia was instrumental in the fundraising for the monument.  She lived in Iowa by that time but still made it a priority to honor her sisters' memory.  >>


Didn't Tillie Pierce have some rather uncomplimentary things to say about the Wade family?  Or am I confusing her with somebody else?

I seem to recall her commenting on the fact the family were southern sympathizers, and that it was no cooincidence that Jenny (or Ginny) was short for "Virginia", and that her sister was named Georgia.
