EASTHAMPTON, N Y, July 6.
fUP)-Being southerner. 1t has
long puzzled me how in the world
the north ever licked our side IN
the war between the states.
This beWilderment was increased
by the fact that every uncle, great
uncle, and grandfather l had to my
name, told me not once, but dozen
times. that the rebels were far su-
perior as fighters. and stomped
their peglegs to prove it.
To satisfy myself on the subject,
l have made practice OF reading
anything and everything on the
fight between the blue and gray
During the past Is years l have
absorbed SO much information Oh
the subject that there isn't u mid
night raid a cavalry skirmish, q
placement of artillery, a single jot
or title of tactics that l don't know
or understand.
Still, it wasn't until this long
Fourth of July weekend that
found the answer to the victory ii
the north. 1t was not until l came
down here, on the safe and sociable
side of the Atlantic ocean. for 4
visit with the Grantland Rices
that the outcome of Gettysburg be
came clear to me.
The Atlantic ocean, and the At
lantic ocean alone, swung the tide
to the north.
Any man capable of swimming
and bathing in the Atlantic ocean
as it rolls in on northern beaches
is too tough for any southerner to
beat. The toughest southern fighter
we ever had wouldn't have more
than stuck his big toes IN the
northern surf before running fol
