Last Confederate Heroes Bookmarks/Trading Cards - RJNorton - 03-20-2013 09:26 AM

Many thanks to Rick Smith for sending these! Rick makes them, and the photos below feature Bill Richter, Joe Beckert, Betty Ownsbey, and Rick himself. Rick says they make good bookmarks, and one fellow referred to them as Bill Richter trading cards. Enjoy!

Great pictures Rick

Is there something about BettyO that reminds you of this movie star?

Bette Davis in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane ?!? Big Grin

I also thought of Bette Davis, but in a CW era movie that I can't remember the name of.

Bette Davis' Civil War movies are Jezebel which I love! The Old Maid, based on Edith Wharton's novel, and a Post Civil War movie set in the Old South - The Little Foxes.

LOVE Bette Davis and will watch ANY movie she's in! And if it's a Civil War picture - all the better! "Hang onto your seats....We're in for a bumpy night!"

Those are fantastic photos Smile

Betty, you look very similar to Bette Davis. It's not a Civil War movie, but have you seen her in The Man Who Came to Dinner?

RE: Last Confederate Heroes Bookmarks/Trading Cards - BettyO - 03-20-2013 07:58 PM

Ooohh yes! I've seen her in just about EVERY move she ever made!

You flatter me too much! Some used to say that when I was young I may have resembled her a bit through the eyes - but with red hair!

RE: Last Confederate Heroes Bookmarks/Trading Cards - LincolnMan - 03-20-2013 08:46 PM

Whoa! Betty-now we just need Joan Crawford! Smile

I also see Vivien Leigh in the comparison picture you posted, Betty.

Betty, I also love Betty Davis and I think you look very much like her. I have watched her movies over and over again. She is one of the greats!

Great pictures. I want to know where I can find a copy of the book? Have visted a couple of book stores without any luck. Anyone know were it can be found? Thanks Gary

Gary -

You MUST read this!! It's fabulous! Wild Bill sells the book as well as Surratt House - AND if you want an eBook - it's sold for Kindle on Amazon and Nook at Barnes and Noble -

I'd like to know if the trading cards are available for sale too? I think it would be such fun to have a whole set! (and hope I wouldn't have to hide them behind a print if the police ever came to search my rooms ... )

RE: Last Confederate Heroes Bookmarks/Trading Cards - Bill Richter - 03-21-2013 01:19 PM

Sorry, Dawn. I use those as business cards, and Rick Smith hands them out at the Surratt House Museum, where he is a docent. I am not sure if a complete set exists as we change them regularly. There must be 2 dozen! But they are not available for sale. Probably a lousy business decision. I suspect that they would do better than my 4 books on the Lincoln Assassination. Easier to read!

RE: Last Confederate Heroes Bookmarks/Trading Cards - Dawn E Foster - 03-21-2013 02:55 PM

Last Confererate Heroes and Sic Semper Tyrannis are both on my wish list. But since I've only been at this about a-year-and-a-half, and have a lot of catching up to do with the rest of you, my library is composed of all old used copies. Seems like nobody wants to part with their copies of your books.

RE: Last Confederate Heroes Bookmarks/Trading Cards - Rick Smith - 03-25-2013 10:34 AM

Dawn,

An assortment of the Last Confederate Heroes cards is now on its way to you.

I hope you enjoy them.

Thanks for your interest.

Rick
