*** Bump for Anniversary ***
Maybe it's a courtesy. A president is still called "president so-snd-so" when no longer in office. It would be interesting to find out it this happened with other former generals of the ACW.Thanks for the reply. I was aware of his history, just wasnt sure why they decided to address him as General at the Little Bighorn. One thought that crossed my mind was to make him sound more important than he was. But who knows.
What battlefield is in Hawaii?My family and I just returned home from our Hawai'ian vacation with my In-Laws (wife's mom, dad and sister reside on O'ahu).

What battlefield is in Hawaii?
Joking aside, your post are the best. Great photos and explanations. I nominate you as member of the century.
Thank you!!
I should have known. That's some great info. Would make a great setting for a Bernard Cornwell novel. Sharpe's Beach?Thank you for the kind words!
My post and picture was directed towards Pat's comment about getting around.
And Hawai'i is filled with battlefields.
Before the islands were united, King Kamehameha the Great landed his army (Big Island of Hawai'i) on the beach of Waikiki on the island of O'ahu. His army traveled up the Nu'uanu Valley and fought the army of O'ahu on top of the Pali Lookout. Soon after King Kamehameha captured the island of O'ahu, the islands became a united kingdom.
My Hawai'i an 101 class in 1981 was awesome! Thanks, Mrs. Nakamura!!!

Same here.William,
I have been there once. The landscape is so different than my native Alabama I thought that I had landed on an entirely different planet. Planning a trip now to go back out there and to Yellowstone again next summer God willing. Great pictures as usual!
Same here.
I've been there once myself.
It's some beautiful landscapes, but definitely not what you and I are used to seeing on a daily basis.
I do hope to travel to that part of the country in the near future.
