and remember what beauregard said. beauregard, as only beauregard could do, sent out this pronouncement saying destroying everything in sherman's path, so he will have nothing to live on. and just to mention, a lot of other things we can talk about, but in the 1950's, the geographer from the university of georgia did a study of one chunk of the march to the sea. he went back, did not have enough time to do the whole thing, but took one chunk and look at property records, and he found out that what was standing there when sherman came. and what was still standing in the 1950's. and guess what? a lot of houses were still standing for that have been there when sherman came through. so we did not burn everything to the ground. jim,d: before i turned to john make this argument that the museum of the confederacy that a couple of years ago, they have an annual program called man of the year. like time magazine. and four or five of us were invited to present. i thought i would have a tough time trying to say that lincoln was t
