I know what you are referring to but some of my family served with NC Infantry (47th) so I’m more familiar with the history. I did do a little survey of my husband’s family (westerners) and none of them had any idea what you were referring to, sorry to say.

I did an informal survery today among some folks. Besides Lee and Grant... the majority did not know who Jackson, Stuart, Sheridan, Reynolds were. I thought is rather sad too.
