I've written a short story about my great-great grandfather, Isaiah Springer Beck (Springer in the story). The basic story is true. A lot of the details are accruate, but some are fictional. I think this picture was taken at Camp MacDonald, north of Atlanta, while he was on his way to Knoxville. He was twenty-eight at the time.

His son, Isaiah Houston Price Beck (Houston in the story), gave my grandmother an organ that I inherited. The organ sits in my dining room. The little photo on the organ is a family photo of I.H.P. Beck and his family.
