Dinner guest

[lauren777]

What if you could have dinner with any one person in the Civil War; who would you pick and why?

I'd like to speak with my Great-Great-Great-Grandfather, who left his pregnant wife, and young daughter to go fight. I'd like to know why he went to fight.

A more historical person I'd like to meet is JEB Stuart. I've always fancied him. Man in uniform, on a horse...

Mine would be Joshua Chamberlain, I love reading the letters he wrote to Fanny.

I would LOVE to have a pious conversation with Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee.
I would love to have a conversation with US Grant and ol' Pete Longstreet at the same time! Actually, I'd just like to sit and listen to them both just talk.
Otherwise, I'd love to talk to my g-g-grandfather, James Marlin. My Great Granduncle John told me that all he ever talked about was being a soldier.

Only one dinner? Then - William Rose, a faithful slave of Maxcy Gregg. General Gregg was rather reserved and modest, so probably wouldn't feel like having conversation with me... Maybe Rose would tell me more about the general.

James Patterson Cockerham, farrier 10th Tennessee Cavalry US. I'd just like to see why I'm so handsome. (Ole and Richard, who have actually seen me, should get a chuckle from that one.)

N. B. Forrest, John T. Wilder and the one that I am researching. Just for kicks, I would like to talk to Larry's gggrandfather just to see if he really looks like him.
