 My 50 year old GGGF, a private in the 8th LA, made his last charge as a Confederate up Cemetery Ridge that night with Hays. Afterwards, he was assigned to the Confederate equivalent of the Invalid Corps for the rest of the war.

For Pvt. Clewell: Why was a Louisiana Man risking his life in an insignificant/indecisive theater like the east ;)

For Doc another Ben Hur quote: "We keep you alive to serve this ship, row well and live." I was watching too last night, all the special effects in the world could never improve on the Chariot Race scene- an awesome scene and movie.
