My great-grandmother told me a story of the time when she went to a theater in New Orleans. After she sat down, a great commotion arose as everyone stood up and started clpping and bowing. She saw that General Pierre Gustav Toutant Beauregard had entered the theater and everyone was paying respect.
For those who are recent victims of government schools, P.G.T. Beauregard was a famous Confederate general. He captured Ft. Sumter and helped win First Manassas.
One of my great-grandmothers held me before she died. In turn, she had sat in Robert E. Lee’s lap!
