Confederacy's Last Hurrah

[EricJacobson]

Jamie,

You and I will have to disagree about Gregory and Remington. I think we would agree that Remington was likely telling a big tale, but Gregory cannot be lumped into that category. Lots of 70-80 year old men were writing in Confederate Veteran and National Tribune whose accounts are questionable, but you work with what you have. But I will say this about Gregory. In my book I clearly noted his recollection about drinking at Oaklawn as "highly suspect if not an outright falsehood." Better than can be said for another author you and I both know who used Gregory, but never provided any such disclaimer.
