Yes, indeed, they got their money’s worth. Years of teaching at West Point, head of the Army Corps of Engineers, service in the Mexican War (a war he didn’t like) and so many other incredible duties carried out with his noted service to authority. Top that with his turning Washington College into a fine institution of learning!
I will not mention his teeth-grindingly annoying ability to get through West Point without a single demerit, lol, while my other two chaps, Custer and Grant, came up short! Well, Custer, cane up incredibly short but was a true hero of the Civil War despite the carping of the politically-correct.
Hope all is well with you, Diogenes Lamp!
(Computer doing weird things: I spelled came correctly but it keeps coming out “cane”.
Hope you are enjoying it, though I would think it would be very hot there in the Summertime. :)
Yes, we are once again engaged in another iteration of the endless discussion of the civil war. I do find it interesting because I occasionally learn something new.
Anyways, I hope you are well and having a good time!
