Lone Watie:
We thought about it for a long time, “Endeavor to persevere.” And when we had thought about it long enough, we declared war on the Union.

I believe Lone mentions Stand in his listing of attendees. Off the top the only one I remember is Buffalo Hump.

Since you have the movie cued up, please share.

Mississippi must not have the same potent trespass laws as Texas.

Or, you lack...

Let’s be careful when trying to mix hollywood with history.

Stand Watie was a real person and Confederate General.

Not sure about Lone Watie. He was a funny character in the movie tho.

Or, you lack... yeah, I'm not ready to kill a trespasser. unless he is in, or trying to get in my home, or my life, or other's lives are in danger.

I don't think we've gotten to that point yet, MS or TX.

All of what you said is true.
I always thought the hollywood character of Lone Watie in “Josey Wales” was probably modeled after or at least a vague reference to the real Stand Watie.
I don’t know why I thought that, but that is what I thought.

Losers always try to destroy objects of winners. Just clean it up and keep an eye on it. It they try again, do something about it.
