In the Deep South all children still study Davis and Lee, they are revered as heroes, and rightly so. Simply as a part of our entire nation's history, that should be the case, I believe. Many thanks to all who contribute to this list, there are some fascinating facts coming from all over the country. This list is unique in that it seems to cover history from all sorts of times and places, with a goodly helping of coloquialism thrown in, and a great deal of tolerance by all for the thoughts and feelings of others, whether shared or not. It's great. Linda (Alabama) > > >
