Re: Writings of "Ben Ford" on guns

Phillip,

Again you obfuscate.

I cited a source that stated that it was the flag of the 12th TN Cavalry CSA taken and you choose to ignore it. Oh well.

Again, how in the Hell do Yankees know what a brigade or division flag is when they misidentified them throughout the war as the vast majority of those so cited were , in fact, unit colors? Did the CSA offer classes on flag identification for the Yankees so they would know what these flags were?

One thing we do know is that YOUR flag CANNOT be placed with Rucker at the Battle of the Barricades who fought in front of where the 12th Tennessee Cavalry CSA fought on the road. I have been to that site many times. Ross Massey, historian of the Battle of Nashville Preservation Society will also tell you that the 12th TN Cavalry CSA fought right there and that Rucker was in their front.
