There are people who worked at this guys retirement home who talked to him about whatever. He in turn talked to his grandfather who fought in the Civil War! Think about this. If you said to him "How's it going" and he said "Fine" you just spoke with a guy who actually spoke with someone who fought in the Civil War. Kind of mind bending.

To your point I know what you mean about our perception of time with historical context. Though not quite the Civil War my grandfather chased Pancho Villa and I thought that was pretty cool (and he was in the Navy!) Hell, my nephews think that about me (Im an oldster to them) I tell him when I was a kid we flew to Germany on a propeller plane (there were no jets!) and the town I lived in had no downtown per se, just empty city blocks with rubble (courtesy of the 8th Air Force).

If you saw half dressed 400lb women dancing to extremely loud spanish music pumped out of a toyota corrolla with a custom paint job then I think you were no doubt in the Bronx. :D
