No doubt about which side George Hicks was on. “Give em hell boys!”

Today reporters are too busy extending “fairness” to the enemy to do any decent reporting.

I absolutely love the recording of Kate Smith, "the songbird of the South", born in Greenville, Virginia, reciting the Battle Hymn of the Republic.

Does anyone wonder why she was so popular in those days?

That George Hicks audio is riveting. You feel like you’re right in the middle of the battle.
