Retired Assistant Fire Chief Jeffrey Keene stumbled upon evidence he says suggests he was Civil War General John B. Gordon in a past life. Furthermore, Keene’s fire crew seem to strongly resemble men who fought under Gordon.
In 1991, Keene and his wife visited Sharpsburg, Md., to look at antiques. Keene felt compelled to visit the field nearby where the Civil War battle of Antietam was fought, explained Dr. Walter Semkiw in an article outlining his work with Keene.
