NO, not the Firebug! True story, Sherman's army did come through Georgia where my ever how many greats mother it was family was living and burn the farm. She died of exposure, before the other memembers of the family could could get her to shelter. Family history saids that the troops were singing the Battle Hymn of the Republic while burning and stealing everything on the farm. To this day, nobody on my Mother's side of the family will sing that song, nor will we stand when it play or sung. The story was told to me by my Great-Grand Mother when I was about 6. I made the mistake of singing that song in front of her and I have NEVER sang it since. I do not want her to come back and Haunt me. She was scary enough in live...
