Rebel Negro Pickets as seen through a Field-Glass
H.K. told me that when he went & camped on the lawn of the TX Capitol with grey uniform, pup tent & LARGE CBF, that he gained "about 15 pounds" from eating all the cakes, pies, tacos,chiterlings,spring rolls,chinese food,enchiladas,pork chops,B-B-Q, turnip greens,cornbread, etc,etc,etc that "ladies of many colours, ethnic & age groups" brought him!
he told me that ONE day he got enough food to feed a platoon! (he ended up sharing his bounty with some of the "needy persons" that inhabit downtown Austin, as he didn't want to waste food.)
