General Green

In a quote from General Hugh I.E. Green, relating to his recent notoritity, th egood General responds: 

"Having just “carved out” sometime to read the northern press I am honoured that they have correctly reported that I am going to heaven to meet my maker whittle by whittle. I have to “hand it” to all those involved - I am now just as well known in New York as I am Charleston, Richmond, Petersburg and Savannah. Whilst the devil makes work for “idle hands” - it also appears that I am able to lend a "spare hand" to those who require assistance. This will come as no shock to my men as they always knew that I was a "hands off" kinda guy."
