… aside from my kin I’m going with Nathan Bedford Forrest … I modeled my facial hair after him

Forrest or Cleburne.

Though I hold Jackson in particular high regard for his fatalistic approach to life and death. It's in God's hands.

… man was fearless… too bad for friendly fire … might be living in different times if not for it

Joseph E Johnston i guess because he tried to hold them off not far from me in the last major battle of the war at Bentonville. Also my kin. Had two brothers in the 5th NC infantry one kia by artiller fire at cedar creek va. One made it back home

Sherman said "that devil Forrest must be hunted down and killed if it costs ten thousand lives and bankrupts the federal treasury".
Forrest and a relatively small group of men were fierce gorilla fighters.

Stunning features on younz both

Cleburne for me. Smart, respected by both sides, and actually spoke up against slavery. Bold move for the time.

…. Had one killed at Atlanta … a couple others as well …. And some made it .. one was a pow that survived

… them men fought hard being outnumbered like they were



… - of an occupation

They are all distant cousins of mine cousin Savell.

Yes sir. The tactics of the time required brass ones. Ive always wanted to go see Gettysburg. I think my ppls unit was involved in Picketts charge from what ive read.

Nathan Bedford Forrest is the most handsome man that ever existed… if the war was based on facial symmetry the Glorious South would have easily obtained victory

….. get out of here with your stolen valor yankee! lol

You don’t look a thing like him…
Your eyes are too close together, ….
And your cranial front lobes are to small….

… a man can still dream

Well....they're all "good" confederates now.

About 10 relatives served and/or died fighting in the war of northern agression.

A handful were field officers. One known general.

Like Savell....I carry a few of these heroes' last name.

… imagine if they’d won you could go on trapping beaver without worry

… good to hear uncle Swamp… if there’d been a few more we’d have less problems

Momma’s side fought the mescins for Texas independence then fought for the Confederacy …. Dads side fought for the Confederacy out of Mississippi then went to Arkansas and finally Texas
