A random thought and not at all personal experience, but I've heard the the North and South magazine has been run into the dirt by its current "leadership." Like everyone who was anyone in its production got "let go." The new broom sweeps clean, but "clean" is not always where you want to be. Just look at my hidey-hole.

I was still envious, though. I no sooner wrote my last post than my newest issue of North and South arrived in the mail today. In the editorial, editor Keith Poulter wrote this: "Starting with our next issue we will be concentrating much of...

I believe that particular Keeper of his Brother is Richard Kirkland, immortalized, as he should be, in a very famous statue at Fredericksburg Battlefield. He was the Rebel who would become known later as the "Angel of Marye's Heights" , for the compassion he showed his enemy.He climbed out over the wall to give water to...
