Last time I checked Kevin Levin he does have a statue and it's been there since 1965 on the Fredicksburg battlefield.

What a poor example of a historian...

I believe the story is true General Kernshaw had nothing to gain by making the story up for the news paper and he was actually there that day.

And no less than five Vets came forward and said that a man did something like that.

I'm willing to wager that the soldier was Kirkland.
