Comment Policy
I allow comments, but I moderate them. The first time you post here, your comment will be held for moderation. For subsequent comments, your comment should appear pretty much immediately.
Comments are public and can be found by anyone searching the internet, so please don’t post anything you would not mind the whole world reading (consider comments like a message board).
(Although you have to enter an email address, it is not published.)
Getting Added to the Blogroll
My policy is if you link to me, I’ll return the favor and link back to you. I usually check my site stats and find referrers, but if I miss you, just give me a shout out — send me an email, or comment on a recent entry and tell me you want on the blogroll.
Photographs
I am not a professional photographer and I make no money from my photography. (In fact, it is actually the opposite — hosting all the pictures ends up costing me money because I keep having to upgrade my hosting requirements.)
The photographs exist primarily to be enjoyed.
To that end, if you would like to use them for a non-commercial purpose, you may. Please include a credit; if you’re using them on the web, please include a link back to either my blog or my homepage. I’d also love seeing how you’re using them.

Jenny,
Enjoy looking at the various monuments, but was wondering when you planned to post the Third West Virginia Cavalry? I am writing a biography on Everton Conger, who rode with the Third but wasn’t there because he was convalescing from wounds suffered in 1862. His brother, Seymour, was there, however. When I was in the ‘Burg I didn’t realize that Seymour was there, so never saw it.
Again, I really enjoy your site.
Best

The 3rd West Virginia Cavalry entry is written, but it is not slated to be published until Feb. 23, 2008 (I publish one monument per day). Here is a link to the pre-written post: http://www.drawthesword.goellnitz.org/?p=585
Hi Jenny,
I just read your story of what it means to run as you fight against cancer. Truly remarkable.
I too live in the Cleveland area (Westlake) and run with a group from the Second Sole running store in Rocky River. For all I know, I/we may have passed you a few times on the bridal trail down in the MetroParks on some of our group runs. (I know the area in which you talk about, for it is under the I-480 bridge and the Brookpark Road bridge in between Mastic and the Nature Center.)
From one runner to another, please let this email serve as an open invitation if you are ever interested in running with a group of good people. We would love to have you be a part of the group. I, for example, have been a part of the group the past 2+ years and have made 20-30 new running friends while also going on 8 group marathon trips all across the county. For information on the running locations go to http://www.2ndsole.com and then click on the “forum.” It will have a posting for December run locations and times. Thankfully one of the guys from the group put your story link on the forum.
Hope to see you out there some day.
Merry Christmas and keep warm,
Paul Siegwarth

Jenny -
Found your site from one of your comments on Mickey’s blog. I coach Cody’s older brother and sister and my son is in Cody’s kindergarten class.
I am also a survivor of Hodgkin’s and just ran my first marathon. I ran the marathon because my oncologist made the mistake of telling me “I can cure you but you will never run a marathon”.
Glad to see you are cancer free.

Surviving cancer…a testament how the Lord can make a bad thing good. You share your passion with others,thankyou for that. I am a truck driver who shares your passion for civil war history. My interest started the same as yours. I am an avid biker and photographer so my job allows me to visit the battlefields. I hope to see you on the trail someday….keep up your passion for history…too bad we don’t seem to learn from past mistakes.
Hi Jenny,
I stumbled onto your website as I searched for info on the 7th Ohio. I have a fairly comprehensive web site related to the 7th Regiment. The 7th consisted of regiments from norteast Ohio- including Cleveland. I was part of the cermony this past July 4th at Woodland Cemetery for the Civil War soldiers burried there. I spoke on behalf of Colonels Creighton and Crane who are both burried there. Its great to see interest in the Civil War from the younger generation- I wish there was more. You are undoubtedly a learned and ambitious young lady.
There is a wealth of information on my web site that you my find of interest so please feel free to check it out. I haven’t updated it recently but have a massive amount of info I’m working on for my next update.
Please keep up the great work and I hope the health issues are in your rear view mirror. I live in Warren, not far from Cleveland
Have a great Day!!
Hi Jenny,
I read about your 214mile week (amazing). I’m inspired by your writings and your courage, and want to say thank you, God bless, and keep running/writing.

Jenny: I just finished reading about your monument photography - a commendable job. Ten years ago, I did the very same thing - every monument, marker, bronze info tablet, roadside exhibit, actually, everything that doesn’t grow naturally on Gettysburg battlefield, I have a picture and slide of. It took me a while to do all of this, but I enjoyed it. Although I now live in Monroe, Mich., my hometown is near the Massillon-Canton, Ohio area (YES, go Indians & Browns!) Besides Gettysburg, I also did the same thing at Antietam. Keep going! I have a cousin and a close female friend that are long time cancer survivors. Bless you Jenny!

Jenny,
I own, and manage, the domain: http://www.battlefieldportraits.com/. I have been working on a new section of my web site, on commanders. I came across your site, on A.P. Hill, and then found, “Draw the Sword.” I really enjoyed reading your posts. I was just in Gettysburg last week, and your newest article took me back there. I try to get there at least once per year. I have bookmarked your site, so I can visit it regularly. I have also linked to you, from my LINKS page. Check out my web site. As you will see, I am also very active in battlefield photography. I have been to a few sites (hehee), over the years. If you are interested, I have a group, on Facebook: American Civil War Battlefields, that has a pretty good following. I would enjoy having you as a member, and contributor.
I will keep you in my thoughts, and prayers, that your upcoming CT scan will be good.
Best Regards,

Jenny,
I sent your website URL to my neighbor. He is retired and has spent many years prowling old libraries and yard sales and auctions for old civil war books. He has one that is a compilation of letters from various soldiers that they had sent back to their wifes and families. Very interesting book.
He absolutely loves your website!
