He is an ardent DeLorenzo disciple. The 'Big Lie' tactic, the more it's repeated, today's neo-confeds really believe some like minded dimwits will begin to buy into the non-stop, wild, historic distortions & blatant lies. Once individuals have been positively identified as being in agreement with the 'cause' the deliberate camouflage for public consumption is removed. Real goals are only discussed among loyal seditionists for the 'lost cause'.

This backward element has a hidden deleterious agenda for portions this nation. An agenda is all they will ever hope to obtain. In here as well as many other Internet sites neo-confeds are being exposed constantly by their own incriminating screams of pure foolishness.

On the subject of Fort Davis I found the following post-Civil War data:

'On July 1st, 1867, companies C, F, H, and I, of the Ninth U. S. Cavalry under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Wesley Merritt, officially reoccupied the post at Fort Davis, Texas, that had been abandoned by federal troops since 1861. Merritt and the Ninth Cavalry had a sizable job ahead of them. In addition to helping to construct a new post, they had the Apaches and Comanches with whom to contend. A major responsibility was to protect travelers and the mail on the San Antonio-El Paso Road. In so doing, the army stationed small detachments of men at a number of stage stations,and sent other troops out on scouts and patrols.'

A REMARKABLE LEGACY

'In the history of Fort Davis, enlisted men of African-American heritage, or "Buffalo Soldiers" as they were called, amassed a notable record of accomplishments. They arrived at the post in 1867 when western Texas was still open to attack by raiding Apaches and Comanches. By the time they left in 1885, peaceful travel and settlement prevailed in much of the region.'

Thanks. The followers of Tommy Delusional are cultists, if you think about it.
