Buffalo Bill Cody

I din't know of Sherman to have an empty hand long enough to draw a handgun let alone hold one and shoot it.
Hero to some? Gunfighter I don't think so... :O)
 
Sherman sent men to rape and pillage non military targets, that doesnt sound like a hero to me, he didnt draw his weapon just sent others to do it for him....Just for your knowledge...General Lee didnt actually surrender to Grant...NO....he was just showin off his sword thats all.....:D And ole Sherman wasnt much of a fighter compared to JEB Stuart, who I am lucky enough to be related to (by marrage:mad:) I like JEB Stuart and Clint Eastwood as Josey Wales and the preacher in Pale Rider, Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, lots of good ones...:D

My choice

look up to as the greats, and why? If not the community, who do you look up to personally? I don't care if they're modern or historic

If we're talking about movie characters, Tuco (Eli Wallace) in The Good, the bad and the Ugly. You can learn about personal hygiene, dining etiquette, prisoner interrogation techniques (look ma, no waterboarding!), gunsmithing, gunfighting ("When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk"), backstabbing from this very colorful character. You also learn not to cheer your side too loudly either as you may wind up incarcerated for your effort.

Real life - Ranger Jack Hayes. Fought off a lot of commanches for hours all by his lonesome.

For the record, Lee never offered his sword to Grant. Nor did Grant asked for it. It was a small affront Grant was willing to let go because he sought the greater cause: peace. Kudos to both Lee & Grant.
 
Christian Sharps, 60,000,000 buffalo can't be wrong and untold number of Indians during the Indian Wars.
Indian Outlaw, I have that record to, it was my fathers and it is pristine, very cool.
 
This isn't a North v South thread, guys...I just wanna know who inspired you to get into BP, and why! Lotsa good stuff, so far.

I actually have to attribute my initial curiosity to gaming, and then being drawn to old-time stuff I began to look deeper into it. After watching some Eastwood flicks, I knew I wanted to give it a try. I've been putting it off for about 3 years now, and I finally made the plunge this week. I figure if my intrest held that long, I'd go for it.

i know but people cant just say stuff like "Sherman taught those rebels a lesson they deserved" and think thats not gonna cause some sort of chatter, I didnt like it...just my two cents.....that aside I also think that the fact that many of our ancestors used them makes it a cool expirience and thats part of what got me sooting BP Revs.

Good one Scrat...did they Name Ft. Jackson, S.C. after him. I don't remember the History of the Fort but do remember Boot Camp & Advanced Infantry Training there in 1972.
