History

The song "Dear Sister" is based on author Frank Anderson Chappel and his 2002 book Dear Sister: Civil War Letters to a Sister in Alabama.[4] The sister detailed in the book is an ancestor of author Chappel.[4] Album co-writer Louisa Branscomb also has a connection similar to that of Chappel. Branscomb has a great-great aunt who had four brothers in the civil war, all of whom wrote letters to her which she saved after being found in the 20th Century.[4]
