With my regards to the Late Great Southern Humorist Lewis Grizzard

The Yankee Barbarian Horde with the Abhorrent Sherman himself in front, was passing Stone Mtn Georgia when a lone Heroic Confederate yelled from the top of the Mtn down to the Yankees, daring anyone to come up and take him down.

Sherman sent his toughest man up and within minutes the yankee was thrown to the bottom.

Sherman then called on his toughest squad of Soldiers to go take this Southern Hero down....minutes later the entire squad came tumbling off the Mountain.

Sherman had enough...he sent his best Company of Soldiers up the mountain to take on this lone Rebel. One lone bloodied yankee came crawling down the mountain. Sherman asked the Soldier what happened....Soldier gasped.....all gone General...the whole company lost
it was a trick.....there were 2 Rebels up there!!

Hrmm - got a 5th cousin ... he told me he was more partial to Savannah ... it was a nice walk there too - might have heard of him: Henry W Slocum -- commanding officer Army of Georgia -- also known as Sherman's left wing from Atlanta to the coast.

Rocks as statuary material in the rear is the stuff that Hood worried about. <s> Keep it real, Secesh.
