Sic Semper Tyrannis

[Lew]

You joke, Greg, but in fact there is a kid area (smart thing, most museums are doing that these days; for the parent who's interested in the subject matter, they can tour the facility, while the parent who's not interested can sit in the play area with their little ritalin-addicted brats) that had, among other things, Lincoln logs everywhere.

And Trav, I think you're selling Grant short. My neighbor is a West Point grad, not a big Civil War guy per se (he's actually more interested in the Army actions with the Indians out west during the post-Civil War era) but he is a huge mark for Grant's actions at Vicksburg. Now once he starts talking, he starts going into military terminology that's over my head and I have to sit there and nod like I know what he's saying. So I can't sit here and tell you exactly why Grant did so well at Vicksburg, but according to my neighbor it's still studied at West Point.

I never talked to him about Lee, next time I see him I'll have to ask him about day 3 at Gettysburg [img]wink.gif[/img]
