Tom,
You can call me petty if you wish. I just base my research on facts that you
seem to consider obstacles to your bottom line.
Madaus did NOT find anything in reference to a flag of the 43rd Mississippi
that he thought well enough of to have kept a copy in his own research files!
Greg Biggs, who helped me search the Madaus research files can confirm this.
Howard and his family thought both Greg and myself trustworthy enough to
allow our researching his files. We have been the ONLY two historians to have done so!!
Going back to my "petty" and "Ken being Ken"--NO one, after over 40 years of
research has found a single clue as to what type the flag of the 43rd Miss. may have been!! Now along comes fantasy-flag maker and behold he has
held that magical clue for all these years!!! Of course he can't reveal what the clue is!!! That's a top-secret!! NO doubt another fantasy from fantasy-world!
Tom, if you really have somthing worthwhile concerning this flag - share it.
If Howard were still alive, he would do that very thing!
Tom, I know you have my e-mail address or does this public forum better
suit your publicity aims.
