It was just dumb luck, fate or whatever you want to call it that has placed us in this present situation but it can't get worse, so it has to get better. |

Is there no end to these deprecations and insults? I agonize when I think of having to listen to Neal's taunts for a whole year when we can take them on again. However, remember we are continuous in the field against the Rebel Armies so we will not be the same Army next time. |

Yes, Howard got the credit for others work. Even after Gettysburg, though, Howard became an Army Commander and was chosen by Sherman in his Atlanta Campaign. There must have been something there that we can't see. |

We have such a low voter turnout because no one takes an interest in who is running. A man may make a statement of his candidacy and yet not reveal everything good about him for fear of boasting and backlash. Let others who know his real values and strengths endorse him so others can know more about... |

Since when is endorsing a candidate, no matter what his position in the club, wrong? Mass mailing is little different than posting in the MDT except it is more specific and can be deleted the same way you throw away the leaflets that arrive in the mail. At least he isn't calling you on the phone. th... |

The president of the Club will represent all members. there is no Blue or Gray here. The CSA and Union armies are not political parties. Anyone can support the man of his choice and urge others to do so.There are no conflict of interests here. |

So who did run away from Jackson at Chancellorsville? In support of your case for 11 Corps, most authors agree that they did much better in the West (under new leadership). (This has been advanced as an argument that the Western armies were inferior to those in the East). Howard tried to blame Doub... |

" Splendid Gallantry: The Union Army XI Corps " by Richard Haviland ; Blamed for all that went wrong at Chancellorsville and Gettysburg, the fault lies elsewhere. The reports of battlefield cowardice were nothing more than a cover-up by incompetent leaders Howard & Barlow and since th... |

As long as it does not get negative, I am in favor of canvassing the whole club for votes. Its time these functions were more lively and energetic! |

There is another great western."The Unforgiven" -not the one by Eastwood although that is now a classic, but the one with Burt Lancaster and Audrey Hepburn. My only criticism of Eastwood's film is that it stole the title of a classic,original western and in the process, buried it into obli... |

General Garner: Thank you for your most eloquent and thoughtful acceptance of our challenge. I am sure that it will turn out to be a fun time for all and will establish a yearly get-together. In case we haven't mentioned it, there is the Hardee-Sheridan Cup at stake which will travel with the winner... |
