Dan, thought you might be interested in some more Confederacy history:

This is actually one of our mills now.

Thumbs up

Fast Gator: That's him! He was the greatest cavalry general ever! he led his troops from the front instead of issuing orders from a tent in the rear(as a REMF would do). For proof, he had 29 horses shot out dead from under him plus six body wounds. He killed 30 of 'the enemy' in hand-to-hand, face-to-face combat--one more than they got. He had no formal education or prior military experience but rose to the rank of Lt. General from being an enlisted man.

"Was he an enigma to the Union generals against whom he fought? General William T. Sherman, who said that Forrest must be killed "if it costs ten thousand lives and breaks the treasury," thought so."

I read that article in the NRA 'zine CornerCarver--keep those mills producing.

Thanks, Gator.

Dan

CornerCarver- Some excellent reading there, my friend. Just think the most modern gunpower manufactoring plant. Col Rains was way ahead of times

LightningRod- A friend of yours is a friend of mine. Because of your sig, I did a little research on the man. And you are right, the greatest cavalary leader ever ...Bar none

Rod,
There is a huge statue of Forrest on I-65 near Nashville. Every time I pass by I want to take a pic of my Lighting next to it and send it to you.

Thank you easterisland! I wasn't aware of that statue.
