Mead was like a lot of us, Paul. Maybe not that great all the time, but he had his moments. Any team can be beat by anyother team at any given time.

When I think of Winfield Scott Hancock, I think of a Union general as good as any field commander ever put up by the South. As good a man as ol Bobby Lee.

I couldn't agree more about Hancock. Rebs seem to have a lot more flash than yanks, but you know what Paul, I never cared for flash. Throw your uniform on , stick your seegar in your mouth and win. As for Beauty Stuart (didn't look that sexy to me) he was all an all a good christian gentleman, but still too flashy for this son of a working man. What was it Kill Cacalry said about gentleman, I forget off hand...lol.
