I think my mom got rid of mine when I went to college, but they still have a complete Encyclopædia Britannica set from the late 1800s, which is fun when you feel like indulging in time travel.

One of my great-great uncles served in the 29th as everything from a Private to a Captain, and testified at D'Utassy's court martial. He and his brother left Germany to join different units of the Union Army in New York. 1/
