Don't know, but just finished reading Empire of the Summer Moon about the last days of the Comanches... Sweet Jesus, those were some savage mother fuckers. Brutal as shit times back then too. Glad as fuck to be alive in America in 2022.

I agree. Great subject matter, and interesting time...but Gwynn is just a hell of a writer. Really sucks you in & you just get lost reading it, feeling like you are right there in the action.

Seems like a helluva a smart move by them. Fortis will rake in any contract they want being owned by Native Americans. Minority owned companies get preferential treatment when it comes to contract award

It was great. It truly captures why Stonewall was a great general.

The reason why Stonewall was a great general was that he had zero fear. He felt that God was leading him and therefore he did not fear anyone or anything. He just didn't give a you know what. He did what he thought was right and slept like a baby all night.

If you were going up against Stonewall, it was like you were going up against a religious zealot that had no fear of making even the boldest move. You had your hands full.

One thing about Stonewall that never gets talked about is that he violated Virginia law before for the war. He held Bible studies for slaves that included reading. Teaching slaves to read at that time was against Virginia law. It was way, way illegal. However, Stonewall didn't give a shit. He was never charged for it though.
