Lt. Col. Daniel Livingston
(click for details)
Lt. Col. Daniel Livingston served in the Confederate States Army and he was wounded at Second Manassas and Sharpsburg. Regardless of the ongoing heated political debate about the American Civil War, I am proud of my great great grandfather's service. I have studied our family history and the events that touched my family personally, so it has more meaning for me than just the fact the he was in the CSA.
This tag has a background of a copy of Confederate script (money), a copy of a letter in his handwriting, his photo in uniform, his gravestone photo, decorative black braid and a small bead and metal embellishment.
Wow I love your artwork and your choice of models! Great work.

Wonderful tag! You did a beautiful historic tag. My ggrandfather was in the CSA, captured and kept in Richmond. At the end of the war he was released and he walked home to Memphis, Tennessee. Look that up on a map and remember there were no US highways or interstates then.
ReplyDeleteTerrific tag!!!
ReplyDeletefantastic tag and I love the history of your ancestor
ReplyDeleteRebecca, this is wonderful! I love the history here....and I must say you have squeezed an awful lot of history onto one little tag!
ReplyDeleteWOW! This is Wonderful..
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful (and meaningful) Rebecca! How great it is to know your family's history! I especially appreciate your grandfather's handwritting. A loved one's handwritting is unique and recognizable...something to cherish.

I love that you have a letter from him. This is such a great history tag!
ReplyDeleteThis is the kind of art I love--what a wonderful piece of family history you've created.
ReplyDeleteI knew as soon as I saw it that it was one of our ancestors. You are awesome in doing so much research on our family and this is an excellent piece that commemorates just a small bit of it. Actually, you are awesome period!
ReplyDeleteLove you!
Love your tag and the history behind it. I've traced my gr-gr-gr-grandfather's years as a Union soldier - including a year as a POW at Libby and Danville prisons in Virginia. Fortunately, he made it home! My gr-gr-grandmother was the first kid born after his return!! :D
