Random Question Time:

Which three Civil War personalities would you most want to make a foursome with at a Poker game? Assuming you didnt care if you lost.

For my own two cents I have to go with Jeb Stuart first. A southern gentlemen and undoubtedly an amusing companion to have sit in on any game. Second I have to go with McClellan because I am sure he would be the worst player ever and that I could bluff him out of any hands. Lastly I would want Forrest to sit in. I have read he was a great card player and I believe if he stared me down at the table that there wouldnt be a hat big enough in this world to hide behind.

EDIT

I'd like to swap out McClellan for Daniel Sickles please. One of the great scoundrels of 19th Century America! I am sure he'd have some great stories to swap with Stuart.

Hot time in the ole town tonight!
