[Non-Sequitur]

...when Jeb Stuart captured a team of Federal pack horses, and captured an outpost in PA...

And when Stuart presented all these horses and wagons to Lee a few days later following the second day at Gettysburg, Lee is supposed to have said simply, "General, they are an impediment to me now." That because Stuart was joyriding instead of scouting out the Union army, wasn't it? As a result Lee got surprised at Gettysburg and the rest is history.

The Stuart story I'm referring to was way before Gettysburg. Yes, he did screw up at Gettysburg. That fool! You wouldn't have, would you?

If Davis is your idea of a great man of history then I question your standards in that area.

That means a lot to me.
