"As a meaningless aside, there was also this Jefferson Davis...a Union soldier:"

An equally meaningless aside, regarding Alexander H. Stephens, the Vice-President of the Confederacy; my mother was born in the left (facing the home), upstairs bedroom of his home, Liberty Hall, when it was a still a boarding house, prior to becoming a museum, State Park and National Historic Landmark.

Although there are rumors, the National Historic Landmark status was NOT because it was the birthplace of the mother of the future BwanaNdege.

:-)

(I will be signing autographs from 3pm until 5pm tomorrow)

Cool! Thanks.

I am a history nut (and southern sympathizer) from way back.

On an even more meaningless path...did you know? Four U.S. presidents have been assassinated. One man was at the bedside of three of those dying presidents. Who was he? :{)
