    I’ve got an amazing book on the Civil War, filled with great photos.

    I always found the Confederates to be much more interesting than the Union side. Guys like Stonewall Jackson, J.E.B. Stuart and of course Robert E. Lee.

      Even as a kid, it always seemed to me that the wrong side won, Thor.

      Lee was top in his class at West Point-USMA– served over 30 years as Army engineer- was Superintendent at USMA –the fact that he entered on the side of the ‘South’ – got me thinking and studying–
      after much self study- I believe that those who forced the separation- lincoln- and et al–had a $$$ and power agenda–
      I could go on – will not– now–

      “Nation mourns loss of Swino”

      “National moment of silence called for Saturday”
