Well I am sad to say that Greatest Generals week is now over, and I had so many more Generals that we did not have time to get to. Well, we still have the mystery contest, which starts now.

About Me

- I grew up in West Texas, and could not wait to get away. I got away, and went to the University of Texas, and then on to Stanford. I saw the world, and decided what I really wanted was to be in West Texas. So here I am, right back where I started. I had it all, and found it was not that great.

ReplyDelete... and a Confederate general.
ReplyDeleteRob is the winner. It is Robert Toombs, senator from Georgia, and Secretary of State for the Confederate States of America.
ReplyDeleteGood job, Rob!

Nice work, Rob. But what is that white above his tie? Is it a beard tucked in??
ReplyDeleteYes, well done Rob.

Downton Lady:
ReplyDeleteMy sentiments exactly!!!
How in the world you guys know this stuff is beyond me. My life could depend on guessing the mystery person and well, I would be DEAD. PJM-you missed the greatest general of all, who was not a general but a chief, Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce tribe. I think I remember reading that the West Pointers still study his tactics to this day. As a side note, my husband knew an old cowboy who said as a kid he kept hearing this old screech and when he peaked over the hill it was Nez Perce band on the run. The screech was the travois pole going over rocks as they crossed a creek. He said the braves were beating women, children, dogs & horses trying to get them to move faster. He hightailed it out of there in a hurry he said.
