So if a person isn't influencing the "History of Europe" it doesn't matter what happens to him, or if he even exists?

I agree with Pierre-Yves, Michel Ney was an <i>actor</i> of the French and European history, what happen after is not History anymore (with a big H).

In this case of that <i>Foreigner</i>(as said in one of the articles), who is certainly more pretending to be Ney rather than being really him, what would be really interesting would be to know how many Napoleonic War veterans went to the USA after the fall of Napoleon and what heppened to them[:)]

David,

I hope that when you and Pierre-Yves are both dead and gone, that some one will feel that your entire lives were an important part of History, not just a part of them.

I am not sure to follow you Al...
Do you mean that I could die one day?[:o)][:D]

I always though I was Immortal.

Yep, that's it, Colonel Amos,

Hopefully, someone will publish a new game called <b><i>Campaign Pierre-Yves</i></b> and the patches will be available a short while after.

People on the discussion board will argue about stacking limits (shouldn't we be allowed to put more than two persons in a queen sized bed?) or that movement rate should be increased (even with the high price of gaz). [:D]

The graphics would be horrible to casual gamers but who would care given that it would only be for the hardcores and that David Jr would have enhanced artwork available. [;)]

Seriously, this Peter Stuart Ney story kinda looks like the debate over Elvis' death. I believe he his still alive (in my heart). But what does it change?

I grew up in Iredell County, NC with my mother telling stories of Peter Stuart Ney. There are handwriting experts who claim that PS Ney's handwriting matched Marshall Ney's. The handwriting samples of both are still available. And a number of people who knew Marshall Ney recognized PS Ney as Marshall Ney.

Unlike the cases of Elvis and Hitler, there is lots of evidence left to be evaluated. We have Peter Ney's gravesite in Rowan County NC:

I a DNA analysis could decide the matter. It would probably be fairly easy to get access to PS Ney's remains. But I am not sure how to get a sample of Marshall Ney's DNA or of his close relatives. And,
even a close relative match would probably not prove identity.

I suppose there could be DNA or fingerprints in the PS Ney collection at Davidson college, here is a summary of the contents:

I think the theory is still live. Don't know of a conclusive refutation so far.
