One more thing Brian, the Militia on Breed's Hill didn't have any bayonets. They never had a chance once they ran out of powder and ball. They should have fled as soon as they saw that last advance of the Grenadiers, it would have saved many American lives.

Todd,

Maybe later in the year I can make a small trip to Wilson's Creek. I will expect a personally guided tour and we can toss a coin to see who buys the first round. I'll warn you, I'm a pretty fair Two Beer Civil War Debater First Class. We ought to have fun argueing about old times.
