 Ethan Morris says his interest in history comes from the trips he and his dad would take to visit history museums and battlegrounds as a kid. 

Morris, whose parents are Danny and Rebecca Morris, said a battlefield in Shiloh, Tenn., which had been left the way it was originally, gave him the opportunity to see the story of the battlefield.
