It is it just me, or does anyone else think these two are each reaching for a gun as a Yankee is approaching?

No, Blaine, it ain't just you; we are just practicing to stay in proper trim in case a Yankee does decide to show up.

Joe Beckert once described Surratt's to Laurie as a Rebel safehouse, maildrop, and a place for Rebs to meet, have a drink and badmouth the Yankees, and then asked, "But what was it like in 1865?"

Son, you said a mouthful.

And remember, what we done, we done for Dixie.
