I have read nothing about that. That doesn't mean it didn't happen. I think the feud with Hill took most of his time.

Susan,
I believe Falci, who portrayed A.P. Hill in the movie "Gettysburg," is the same person of which you speak.
Check this site:
http://www.pickettsociety.com/hill02.html
In the group picture below the monument picture, he is identified in the caption as a past president of the NY CWRT. In the picture on the bottom, the caption said he gives lectures on Hill. It all seems to add up: his unusual last name, his interest in Hill, even his uncanny resemblance to the general.

Thanks there, PVT. Appreciate your remarks. Falci does look like the General.
I would like to here him speak once. I bet he is a hoot.

Pvt. He is the same one that played A.P. Hill in the movie. Basecat on this board is a member of the New York Round table and has mentioned him several times in conversations. A.P. Hill is another of those intereresting characters in the Confederate Army. Colorful characters I should say.
For more information on A.P. and Stonewall check out Class of 1846 by John Waugh

it's a shame there wasn't more seen of him in "Gettysburg" other than a scene of him talking to Lee beside the road I don't recall him having any significant screen time. I think there might be a bit more in the directors cut but not much.

Seems that all generals were a bit crusty. Stonewall might have been a bit crustier. Is that something that makes a general?

Braxton Bragg would have fit the description of "crusty." Does he belong in the pantheon of Great Generals? I have my doubts.

Ole didn't say "great" just generals...generally speaking that is....in a crusty sort of way.....

At Stones river, I believe a Confederate officer asked permission to shoot Bragg...too bad he was denied as
The CSA would have been well served...MHO

I have read that I think in the book I read about Cheatham. I am surprised he was turned down .

Bragg had more supporters within the army than I think is commonly acknowledged. The anti-Bragg people simply get all the air time by historians. Breckenridge certainly was not innocent at Stones River and that's just one of many examples. Last edited on Sun Mar 1st, 2009 12:25 am by The Iron Duke
