29. I'm from Kentucky: Both Sides

One great-grandfather fought on the Union side, getting injured & confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. He also drew some pittance of a government pension. He died in 1934 - the last Civil War veteran in the county.

A great-great-grandfather on another side fought for the Confederacy. He was captured by a particularly cruel band of Union soldiers and summarily executed.
