Calhoun was not doubt on his short list but I`m sure ole Henry Clay was #1, and he had good cause, since he blamed Clay for depriving him of the presidency, (in the election prior to the one that he won).

Appears you`ve been a jack of all trades which I admire. I started on the farm (wish I could have stayed there) but ended up spending 43 yrs on the railroads on an office job but I have alway preferred working outdoors.

I seldom agree with your posts however, I do find them very interesting and respect your knowledge of the WBTS, the war we took second place in.

Deo Vindice.
