I’d love to meet her! Disparage Lee and you disparage me! I only pray I can be half the man.

My dear great-aunt went to her reward many years ago at the age of 97. She was the grand-daughter of a Confederate veteran and a charter member of "Children of the Confederacy".

We have enough Confederates on our family tree to man a substantial platoon . . . none however fought with Lee, we were all in the Army of Tennessee. Most survived the war, about half were wounded, and some killed or died of disease.
