Before we look this week at Gus's return to Iowa and his pension application, I wanted to share a couple of pictures with you that Myron sent me this week. As I mentioned, he has been to Camp Ford and, I'm sure would be happy to share other pictures with you or information he has about his visit.

These photos add a great deal to our family history and our story of Gustus Linn. If you have historical family photos, would you email a copy to me so I can include them in future posts? Military. Farm or home photos. Old family photos. Pictures of family memorabilia you have. All are welcome and would be viewed by other family members and future generations of our family. It's important to share our family's story, our history, with those who come after us. I want my grandchildren to know these stories and to see these photos to know about the brave and accomplished people who came before them. Thanks!
Next is Gus's return after the Civil War.
