Hiram also devised a different uniform for his sharpshooters. What was the big difference?

And Green it was. Old Hiram was way ahead of his time.

This will be an easy one for most of you Rebels. May not be so easy for Gary or Ron ::ke:



--------------------------------------------------
I was a poor orphan who was taken in by relatives

I had a room mate in college who made a miraculous discovery later in his career

I became a well respected politician and amassed considerable land and wealth

I spent a short while in prison at one point

Some remember me for my generosity, intelligence and eloquence.

A county in Georgia bears my name

I died almost penniless due to my generosity.

Mr. Stephens from Crawfordville?

Dern it Jim, I wanted one of them Yankee boys to try it. ;);)

Yep it was Vice President Alexander Stephens from down in Taliaferro County. His college room mate was Crawford W. Long.
I have a couple of hunting spots not far from Mr Stephens place. My grandson and I are headed down there tomorrow to try and shoot some pigs.:shoot::shoot:
