Well I reckon so CI. Actually I think it would be difficult to come up with what you don't collect and certainly what you do collect is most impressive.

 

[theBaron]

Nice displays, you guys'll make a K&C collector out of me yet!

Prost!

Quote of the best fighting general was Longstreets-after his leg loss at Chickamauga Hood schemed to replace Johnston but ironically was ordered to replace him-relieved of command by his own request Jan '65-
He never was up to being a Commander in Chief he shoulda stayed as a Division Commander with Longstreet where he was indeed the best fighting general in the reb army.

The fact that he had the best brigade (The Texas Brigade) in the whole war within his division certainly didnt hurt his prowess as a division commander either.

greeting UK Reb- couldn't agree more. Hood was a great brigade or divisional commander. he is my favorite Southern commander along with Pat Cleburne. best regards, lancer

 

[maddadicus]

Um, doesn't that Hood figure have 2 many arms and legs..I would never want to be accused of being a digit counter...( humans do not have rivets )Michael

 

[lancer]

i'm guessing that this picture of Hood was taken early on July 2nd, 1863.
