“What happened to Stand Watie?”
-
He just vanished one day - a little over a year ago.
Stand Watie certainly was a character, wasn't he? His replies were pretty wild at times, actually most of the time, but he did have a very unique and specific take on the Confederacy. Too bad more didn't bother to understand where he was coming from.
Despite all the years of his participation, I suspect most who denigrated him remained ignorant throughout, as to just who his FR s/n namesake was, and why that matters in certain arguments over the so-called Civil War.
I was under the impression that he was much older. I hope he's OK.
He is missed by some of us. Speaking of N-S, some of the most memorable donneybrooks on any FR CW thread were often between those two.
