George Price Crane c. 1868

There is no other legend quite like the Confederate fighting man. He fought for a star-crossed cause and in the end he was beaten, but as he carried his slashed red battle flag into the dusky twilight of the Lost Cause he marched straight into a leged that will live as long as the American people care to remember anything about the American past.
