Talking About Those Bad Generals-- Part 3: Sickles and Van Doren

Continued from March 11th.

Some other bad generals:

**  Sickles at Gettysburg

**  Earl Van Dorn--  Failed at Pea Ridge and Corinth

**  Beauregard

There was a break and some talk about how cold it got on the MCCWRT trip to the Red River Campaign back in 2014.  It was 80 degrees the first day and a cold 40s after that.

They were told to bring along boots because of the fire ants they might encounter in hiking to sites.  One member said he figured to always be the first in line as it is the second guy who gets bitten..

Then we got to talking about Stonewall Jackson already being a dead man even before he was shot as he was showing symptoms of pneumonia.
