This week, the Sons of Confederate Veterans organization is having its annual convention in Anderson, South Carolina. This organization is made up of direct descendants of Confederate military personnel who took up the charge to defend their good name as they passed on into history.
Two REAL SONS attended the convention and there was an article in the Anderson (SC) Independent Mail by Liz Carey "Two real sons of the Confederacy recognized." Not only was their text, but a 4-minute video of them.
Having real sons means the old veterans were still having kids into their declining years.
H.V. Booth, 93, is from Elberton, Georgia and James Brown, 98, hails from Loudon, Tennessee. Brown said there are about 100 real sons left on both sides with about 30 Confederate. This means the Union veterans were also having kids into their old age. (And this before all these marital aids you can't watch TV without seeing these days. Must have been a different sort of man.
I sure would like to talk to these two men.
Well Worth Checking Out. --Old B-Runner
