From the Abbeville Institute:

The U.S. Army’s removal of the Reconciliation Monument from Arlington, with the approval of your Congress, is nothing less than an attempt to remove the Southern people from American history.

The lead instigator in this atrocity seems to have been a general with a funny name, not a West Pointer and not a soldier but a bureaucrat.  One of many non-soldiers in the high  bureaucratic ranks of our bloated and incompetent military.

This fellow wrote a book called Robert E. Lee and Me, which would be more appropriately titled Robert E. Lee and Nobody.  You would think that a general charged with…

From the Abbeville Institute:

I was watching some old true crime story on one of the cable channels recently. Probably a rerun, though I don’t keep up with T.V. and its general blather. As a rule, T.V. is about as entertaining and educational as two goats eating weed grass without disturbing the dandelions. And the “news” is even worse.

Anyway, this crime had taken place in Texas several years ago, and, having remembered the crime (Federal Judge John Wood was assassinated) I sat down, fired up my pipe, and watched. Since the crime took place in San Antonio the announcer felt compelled to give us a brief “history” lesson…

From the Abbeville Institute:

Thomas Jefferson, like others of his day, was a patron and admirer of the fine arts, which were “fine” because they were autotelic—viz., enjoyed as ends in themselves.

The number of the Fine Arts was a matter of debate in his day. To granddaughter Ellen Wayles Randolph (10 July 1805), President Jefferson writes:

I must observe that neither the number of the fine arts, nor the particular arts entitled to that appellation have been fixed by general consent. many reckon but five Painting, sculpture, architecture, music & poetry. to these some have added Oratory, including, within that,…

Rain doesn’t spoil “Fightin’ Joe’s” birthday celebration at Pond Spring

(Moulton Advertiser) On Saturday, September 10th, Pond Spring, site of The General Joe Wheeler Home, successfully celebrated the 186th birthday of its namesake, Joseph “Fightin’ Joe” Wheeler. Born in 1836 near Augusta, Georgia, Wheeler’s name has become synonymous with Lawrence County due to his legacy as a Confederate General, a U.S. Congressman representing the state of Alabama, his service as general in the Spanish-American War, and his descendent’s unheralded devotion to Pond Spring and its surrounding areas.
John Griffin, Pond Spring Site Director since October of last year, said that the turnout for this year’s celebration, his first as director, was a surprising success despite the dreary forecast. “The rainy weather held off and made for a very lovely afternoon for families to stroll through the gardens and take in this special home.” He added that about 150 visitors roamed the grounds of the site, while around 105 decided to enter the home to see several unique items including a wooden desk on which Wheeler studied while as a cadet at West Point…Read the rest
