The guy I ran into didn't know I made a living doing that several years ago. They were offering a free plasma tv with a purchase but I didn't get one, but I would rather have the extra $1500 bucks i skinned them out of.

The General appears to be cross-eyed...did he have trouble with his eyes?

It looks as if his eyes have different sizes. I think it's a small birth deviant.

 

[M E Wolf]

It is amazing how color makes a uniform's 'braiding' pop.

As far as eyes go, I took a piece of paper and measured from the center of the lid. He isn't cross-eyed but 'his' right eye (looking at him would be the left eye) lid isn't formed equal to the other which gives an appearance of being cross-eyed.

Recollections of a Confederate Staff Officer (Sorrel)
Chapter X—Second Battle Of Manassas, August 29 And 30, 1862
[excerpt]
Longstreet was seen at his best during the battle. His consummate ability in managing troops was well displayed that day and his large bodies of men were moved with great skill and without the least confusion.

As General C. M. Wilcox was moving forward at the head of his brigade in the open field, he was attracted by the waving of a handkerchief at some little distance. He found time to go to the spot and there mortally wounded was a Federal general, Wilcox's old army friend, who had recognized the Confederate as he passed and wanted to say farewell. His soul soon took flight and his body was cared for by his old-time comrade—the name is forgotten.
