You really had me snort'n on this one, Dave! And I finally had to go online to look it up, but I'll not spoil it for our Rebel friends. |

Let's try to make it easier and use multiple choice: a - Was the first soldier killed in the ACW. b - Was a member of the group that stole the train The General but he escaped with the money and lived happily ever after in South America. c - Invented butternut uniforms when he spilled red eye gravy on his blue pants. d - Was convicted of fathering 17 children during the ACW. e - Was the first person to use gator hides to make shoes and cartridge boxes. f - Was the oldest soldier in the ACW. g - Was the last soldier killed in the ACW. |

Although there is some debate on this subject, the claim of last killed has some merit, and is what he is best known for, and as far as I know, the only thing he known for. http://www.exploresouthernhistory.com/hobdys2.html |
