My husband is a graduate of the Bragg School for Wayward Boys.

Always cracked me up that it is named for one of the most disagreeable and incompetent Confederate generals. NOBODY liked Bragg, and I think most people wished Forrest had gotten mad enough at him to challenge him to a duel (getting in a duel with Forrest was pretty much a death warrant).

If Bragg had not been as jealous of Forrest as some beauty-pageant contestant, the outcome in the Army of Tennessee might have been very different.

Good morning, AAM ((HUGS))

Now I have to talk to hubby about Bragg, see if he’s familiar with him (almost positive he is) and let him fill me in.
