Yeah, Custer made a name for himself at Gettysburg. He was the real deal. I once visited the room that Stonewall died in (the bed, the furniture, etc....). The placard at that site stated that he actually died from the pneumonia that he contracted after the wound.

Yes, old Stonewall was run down and had the beginnings of a cold, I think. He should have survived that wound. I've been to one of the houses he lived in in Virginia, I think it was. He did not die at the house still standing at Chancellorville. He was moved from there - perhaps a mistake.
