In the winter of 1861, I got a serious illness, ceasing the Union's plans. My supporting wife Ellen and my three kids would come to comfort me during my illness. Ellen, a great cook, would make me feel better through her encouraging words and delicious apple pie. Although it was nearing the end of the apple harvesting season, she would always find fresh, juicy apples to cook into the pie from our expansive garden back in Philadelphia. My wife is the rock of my life, providing me with confidence in the fields of war. Ever since I first laid my eyes on her, I knew I had to get her. Ten marriage proposals later, I won her over from A.P. Hill.
