Ah, I have some stuff similar to tackey at home already so Ill be giving that a shot and see how that goes. Thanks for the tip.

Since you figured it out Ron, how did you get the flag bearer to stand up with the flag? Ive already emailed CS and they said to try gluing it in place and letting it set against a jar. But before I try anything relatively permanent I want to hear any other options out there.

I personally recommend the area in South Alabama around Auburn for golf.

Id go for an iron clad of my own. I think us WBTS guys deserve some vehicles. Or is that what the cavalry is?

Welcome and enjoy your stay.

General Smith sure seemed to get around,

That is interesting. Ive probably read that before and just dont recall it. But a very interesting piece of trivia that only the military and states surrendered.

Wow it was 170,000 still left in the field? I had no idea it was that many. I understand that the Army of Northern Virginia was the main Confederate forces but with that many men still under arms Im surprised the other armies surrendered so easily. I had been under the impression that all the...

Im very torn between picking up the rest of the Union WBTS I dont have from K&C and whatever I can get from Collectors Showcase. I know Ill get both before the year is out but Im not sure which is going to be 1st yet. Conte could possibly enter the equation to.

Well, Rob it seems you got your question answered. I was out at a bar watching the Georgia game (they beat Michigan State 24-12 by the way) and thats why I didnt respond in a more timely fashion. Even though your question wasnt in line with the original topic of the thread I have no problem with...

Im just talking about percieved personal attacks. I understand its history, but the percieved personal attacks are what I am refering to in my statement before. Im all for the discussion of history and I realize this subject in particular brings about some interesting emotions, but the back and...

You know what guys, here in 2009, Im really not fond of this North vs. South stuff. To debate the war, the causes, and what not, well thats one thing and Im all for it. In the process of that discussion both "sides" have accidentally let slip some comments that we really shouldnt have. OK...

Thats an interesting point Louis. Being a citizen of a state before the US. I have to be honest, thats how I was tought in Texas. Up till 5th grade I and most of my classmates were unaware that we were American citizens. Only the Texas flag hung in our classroom; we only said the Pledge of...

Thanks for clarifying. From the back it was a little tough to tell.

I dont know how many of you saw the Kennedy Center Honors last night but there was a great moment. Roger Daltry and Pete Townsend were honored together for their work as The Who. Yall might also remember they performed at the benifit concert for the NYPD and FDNY after 9/11. Here is the video...

Any act of killing a Union soldier by a civilian to protect their personal property is certainly self defense and not murder. We would call it self defense if someone barged into our house and stole our food and we defended our home. Self defense is no war crime.

The piece on the left looks like he might be relieving himself...

TD, I believe Ive read a few times that you have ancestors going back to the WBTS in Maryland. Do you know any of their story? I would be interested to hear a border state residents opinion of things.

Im interested on reading a little more on Nathan Forrest, is there a particular book that you recomend on him?

Agreed Matt, you hit the nail right on the head.
