An Answer

This is an answer to Scott Gutzke's assertion that I am not a reenactor; indeed I am. I reenacted at Gettysburg, and several other places. I have known of Scott since he was fourteen and fifteen, and on one occasion I gave him one of my Civil War Books.

I am aware he had something negative about me on his site, and did not go to it till November, 2002. I wish before he wrote something negative about me he would have e-mailed me his concern.

The one item he wrote, that my site is an unofficial site, that is correct. Along with him, I do encourage you to look at other sites, and research this war on your own. Do not take one's opinion, rather examine each side carefully.

My site is a combination of links; trivia, what other people have written, historical data, genealogical sites, sutler and Civil War reenacting links, masonic history, history about my ancestors, and questions about the Civil War.

This War or any War should not be glorified, and those who fight for our freedoms should be honored. Political correctness is not the way of honoring those who died for our freedoms; rather it is an insult to them.

I believe Scott Gutzke's lash out at me, was because of my opinion concerning this. I will try to present both sides of the issue here and combine it with informative sites, trivia. With this page I hope I honor not only Battery B, 4th U.S. Artillery but all soldiers on both sides.
