My! We are having a tempest in a teapot, aren’t we? Let’s change the subject to something you’re more comfortable with: what’s your favorite color?

Who is "we"? You and your ego?

As mentioned above, i'm too busy laughing at you on this particular issue to have any sort of tempest, and frankly an anonymous poster isn't really worth my effort to get angry. .

And just to satisfy your curiousity...black is my favourite colour. (just keeping the personna of the screen name).

All of this said, i agree with much of what you have posted on this thread to others. i find much of this very distasteful. You are simply mistaken on the issue of Lee having a heart attack during the Gettysburg Campaign.

Lee did have a case of bowel problems during the Gettysburg Campaign. Some say dysentery, but one does not recover from that as rapidly as did Lee. That certainly would have affected his mobility (although he seemed to get around well enough on the first day of the battle). However, there is no evidence that he had a bout of angina pectoris let alone a heart attack during Gettysburg.

Incidentally, my wife is writing a dissertation on medical issues during the US Civil War as well as a book on the life of D. H. Hill. She has run across no evidence of Lee having a heart attack or incident of angina pectoris during the Gettysburg Campaign. We live in the Gettysburg area, and know many of the battlefield guides and some of the major authors of books on the Gettysburg campaign.
