On this 4th of July special, Mrs. Linda McCardle joins me at the Mitchell Cemetery in Harris County, Georgia to tell us about Major John Mitchell - a Veteran of the War of 1812 - and his wife Elizabeth Wood Mitchell and their familiar and their connections to the Revolutionary War and how they celebrated the 4th of July in the 1800's. To do this, Mrs Linda brings history to life by taking on the role of Elizabeth Wood Mitchell, and telling the stories from her point of view!
