Jamie:

FYI -- a number of former Confederate soldiers, including generals, went to work for the King of Egypt after the war.

Gen. William Wing Loring, in whose Division the 43rd served for most of the war, was one of these.

Interestingly, while he never rode Old Douglas, he did ride camels while in the Egyptian Army post-war! -- Jim Huffman

PS: With the sorry current state of US politics, let's keep Old Douglas above it all!
