Re: Top Ten Civil War Photos (7)

Joe, that was a good post. I'm not so prudish I will delete historical comments like that.

Have you ever read the story of what Bishop-General Leonidas Polk told his troops (at think at Murfreesboro)? After hearing the less than pious General Frank Cheatham tell his men to "Give 'em hell" Bishop-General Polk got caught up in the moment but still remembered his vows and is reported to have yelled... "Give 'em what General Cheatham said". I'll have to double check that info but in any account it does make for a good story LOL!

P.S. ___ If I made an error in this post as to date, battle and who was involved somebody please correct. My memory gets more feeble eah day ;-)
