Freeper Rustbucket is the leading authority on all things in regards to the War Between States
Good thing rustbucket is on the ping list then.
Thanks for the kind words, StoneWall Brigade. There are others on Free Republic just as, if not more, knowledgeable than I and to whom I bow on certain topics.
I've been on the road for the last two weeks enduring the snow up north and visiting our grandchild. Just got in tonight. It will take me a while to unpack, process hundreds, if not thousands, of photos, catch up on Free Republic, pay the bills, etc. I'll be underwater for a while.
