True, this was a sad day for the Confederacy. However...... "Verily I say unto you, as things which cannot be shaken shall stand, so shall things that are of the spirit - the soul of the Confederate soldier and the Rebel yell - fail to be captured or killed but shall live forever in the hearts of men and never die." ... from Rudolph Mellard's "Across the Crevasse" Amen. Lt. Gen. Don Adams 5th Texas "Lone Star" Cavalry Brigade I/III ANV http://www.rootsandsaddles.com/index.htm
