Howdy, Scarlett! Glad you're back.Eleanor got back home last night, but she always enjoys a little General Longstreet information. Thanks for bringing this thread back up @GELongstreet. I'll certainly enjoy adding to it and reading the additions of others.
Oh and hello @nitrofd and @Jimklag. I missed you both!

Preservation is always good.The St. Louis County Council has agreed unanimously to sell half of Sylvan Springs Park to the federal government to expand Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery. The county will sell 38 acres of the 72-acre park to the federal government, which will use it to expand Jefferson Barracks through 2048.
The cemetery’s history includes the burials of both Union and Confederate soldiers and graves that even predate the Civil War. Jefferson Barracks is the oldest operating military installation west of the Mississippi River. Among the presidents who served there were Zachary Taylor, Ulysses S. Grant and Dwight D. Eisenhower. The generals who have been stationed there are a who’s who of the most well-known generals in American history including William Tecumseh Sherman, Robert E. Lee and my personal favorite, James Longstreet.
