"Stump the Yankee"

[J. Beckert]

No to all three, Laurie. Here's a kicker - I'd bet you've seen this thing. I know you've been to where it's kept.

Looks like there's going to be more long Rebel faces around here than there were when General Lee walked into Wilmer Mclean's parlor with his hat in his hand. You know why?

WE HAVE A YANKEE VICTORY!!!!!

Excuse me a minute while I update the scoreboard....

Rebels 4
Yankee 2

There. That's better. How refreshing this was! Here's the answer.

While taking the tour at RTL's palatial estate in Manchester, Vt. several years ago, the tour guide stopped in front of a wall mirror with a gilded frame. He said RTL removed it from the White House as he was sure his father would have looked in that mirror just before his departure. If you haven't actually seen it, I don't think you would know that.

Looks like I'm going to have to pull another one out of the weird stuff file. That worked out well for me. I have to go do the Yankee Happy Dance now. I'll be back after the storm!
