Wednesday, September 10: At 4 o'clock this morning the Rebel army began to move from our town, Jackson's force taking the advance. The movement continued until 8 o'clock P.M., occupying 16 hours. The most liberal calculation could not give them more than 64,000 men. Over 3,000 Negroes must be included in the number. . . . They had arms, rifles, muskets, sabers, bowie-knives, dirks, etc. They were supplied, in many instances, with knapsacks, haversacks, canteens, etc., and they were manifestly an integral portion of the Southern Confederacy army. They were seen riding on horses and mules, driving wagons, riding on caissons, in ambulances, with the staff of generals and promiscuously mixed up with all the Rebel horde.

I don't know who this guy is, but this text was in a phamplet written and published in 1862 by a Dr. Lewis Steiner.

Where'd you get your info? SCV or League of the South? Hate groups don't make real objective sources.

Hate groups don't make real objective sources.

Oh, but you'll take that material spewed by Asa Gordon as the written word of God then won't you? The argument could be said the same about your material from Mcpherson. That same article is on Asa's website. Even though it came from another source just as Heysinger's quote did. So does that mean I can dismiss it out of hand just because it's there as well? Or do I have to wait to dismiss it out of hand based on McPherson's political leanings

"Where'd you get your info? SCV or League of the South? Hate groups don't make real objective sources."

For once you managed to come up with at least a half-truth. The Sons of Confederate Veterans and the League of the South are not hate groups. So you were wrong there, but you are right in saying that hate groups don't make good objective sources. You, who constitute a one-man hate group, are an excellent illustration of that.
