I will admit to a certain avairce in 1864, plundering the Yankee banks in Frederick,MD for their gold, which was sent to a still undisclosed location in the South. Burning the town down was simply a small token for Gen. Sherman's burning of Atlanta.

Perhaps if I hadn't dallied I could have gotten to DC more expeditiously and seen Marse Lincoln high tailing it for a Yankee ship on the Potomac to make his escape.

But, Alas, We are stuck with "What Is", which Is, usually, the Unfinished Business of Earlier Recalcitrants like myself. I do profoundly apologize, especially for the Indian Mess, which I had absolutely nothing to do with. :-)
