Today is James Ewell Brown Stuart's 177th birthday.

In honor of the occasion:

And a tip o' the hat to the fuzzy wuzzy.

Today is my sister's 55th birthday and my husband's gg grandfather's, Ludwig Lips', 179th. I am glad he decided to immigrate to the USA or I would not have my dear hubby.

 

[K Hale]

A triple red letter day, then! I've a cake baking now -- all are welcome to share a virtual piece.

Cheers to J.E.B!

February is the best month for birthdays. It's the month my beautiful wife was born in.

 

[K Hale]

And I know you know Sherman's birthday is Monday!

 

[Nathanb1]

Regardless of his age, if he asked me to waltz, I would.... Thanks for the cake. What kind?

 

[pamc153PA]

Happy belated, er, posthumous birthday, Jeb! You look pretty handsome for being 177 years young!

[K Hale]

Vanilla - with buttercream icing. It was utterly delicious...

 

[Nathanb1]

I think in honor of the greatest cavalryman ever foaled, I will make a cake and take it to OAP tomorrow...especially since we're using him for inspiration.

 

[K Hale]

He would appreciate your words AND the cake -- but, what is OAP?

 

[Nathanb1]

OOPs...educational jargon...One Act Play....

 

[K Hale]

Well, it sounds fitting!

I'll note here, Ms. Hale, that your delicious cake is already gone. As you didn't see fit to reserve any for the membership, I can only conclude that you better make another real fast because some are on the road to Dallas.

I guess NBF must not have been foaled. (just kidding) Have a great time!

Thought we'd been over this before. NBF wasn't Cavalry.

Then he had a large, strange growth that looked a lot like a horse on his backside. No wonder he was so cranky.

Scribe, I love your description of NBF's backside growth!

(That aside, NBF rode a horse like cavalry did,
he used the horses to do his work like cavalry did, he just was not a member of cavalry, officially or unofficially.)

There.

It's Ghengis Khans Birthday?

So did Grant. Was he cavalry?
