I realize they had a specific story line they wanted to follow, but it was frustrating to see the Civil War Pension Application and only get to see one item on it. Those applications go on for pages and pages of details; this one would have described her relationship to the son, what her circumstances were, and much more. If Ms Nixon wanted to know more about Mary's life, that would have told a great deal instead of jumping from the release from prison to the cemetery. Also the Censuses in 1860, 1870 and so on .. I wonder if the network web site has more details about the story? Have to check. Anyway, it's great to have this show back.
