Hardly fair for us guys. Ugly was pandemic among the ladies -- giving us menfolks little to lust after.

I'd encourage you gals to take a good hard look at General John Hunt Morgan. A most dashing cavalier, to say the least.

My wife is not a civil war buff by any stretch, but I emailed this painting by Mort Kunstler to her one day, and she fell in love with it, and it's become her all time favorite. Has it as her wallpaper on her computer at work. Not sure who the people are in the painting. It's entitled "Remember Me".

Looks to me, that must be Miss Markie and the Gallant "Sally" Pelham!

Don't know about your tolerance to cold barley soup, 31st, but it would take me approximately 18 in 2 hours to get my eyes adjusted to that degree -- crossed and closed.

I will have to say my beau would be George Pickett, just because I loved the discription that Michael Shaara gave him in The Killer Angels

Gentlemen!! All this unchivalrous talk about the pandemia of ugliness amongst the fairer sex, why goodness gracious!
If you only knew that much of what women are looking for in a worthy courting male has little to do with looks and much to do with disposition... and courtliness.

And let's not forget manners...and thoughtfulness... and the willingness to do great deeds in her name and defense, if need be.

I can see that Miss Markie had better continue to check on you all. Some of you boys left to your own devices will quite do yourself a mischief if someone doesn't keep you on the straight and narrow path....
