April Match Report:
Don’t have a real big article for the
April match for two good reasons: 1)
I wasn’t there, and 2) I want to have
more room to promote the upcoming
charity match.
Looks like the threat of rain kept
most folks indoors on back on April
24th. Only 11 folks showed up to
shoot, but those who did had some
pretty good competition. Only 9 rank
points separated the first 5 places!
In the end, Slick McClade came
out on top, with clean matches shot
by Jubal Early, Panola Bob, Doc
Cooper, and Doc No Mo. Wow!
Four of eleven contestants shot
clean? Time to back some of those
boys up a bit!

Where Did You Get That ALIAS?
This week’s feature is on our resident sharpshooter
JUBAL EARLY
From Wikipedia:
Jubal Anderson Early (November 3, 1816 – March 2,
1894) was a lawyer and Confederate general in the
American Civil War. He served under Stonewall Jackson
and then Robert E. Lee for almost the entire war, rising
from regimental command to lieutenant general and the
command of an infantry corps in the Army of Northern
Virginia.
Early was trusted and supported by Robert E. Lee, the
commander of the Army of Northern Virginia. Lee
affectionately called Early his "Bad Old Man," because of
his short temper. He appreciated Early's aggressive
fighting and ability to command units independently. Most
of Early's soldiers referred to him as "Old Jube" or "Old
Jubilee" with enthusiasm and affection.
Early was wounded at Williamsburg in 1862, while
leading a charge against staggering odds.
At Antietam, Early ascended to division command
when his commander, Alexander Lawton, was wounded.
Lee was impressed with his performance and retained him
at that level. At Fredericksburg, Early saved the day by
counterattacking the division of Maj. Gen. George G.
Meade, which penetrated a gap in Jackson's lines. He was
promoted to major general on January 17, 1863. At
Chancellorsville, Lee gave him a force of 5,000 men to
defend Fredericksburg at Marye's Heights against superior
forces (two corps) under Maj. Gen. John Sedgwick. Early
was able to delay the Union forces and pin down
Sedgwick while Lee and Jackson attacked the remainder
of the Union troops to the west. Sedgwick's eventual
attack on Early up Marye's Heights is sometimes known as
the Second Battle of Fredericksburg.
He was the Confederate commander in key battles of
the Valley Campaigns of 1864, including a daring raid to
the outskirts of Washington, D.C.
The articles written by him for the Southern Historical
Society in the 1870s established the Lost Cause point of
view as a long-lasting literary and cultural phenomenon.
