You are very welcome Ralph. If you would like more information on this I urge you to read my article "William Mahone, the Lost Cause, and Civil War History" which appeared in the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography in December 2005 (vol. 113, no. 4).

Thanks for posting your remarks on Gen. Mahone. I was unaware of this controversy, but see it now as part of the much larger controversy over the "lost cause" mythology and Civil War historiography.
