-Caveat Lector-
I dunna know, The Story of Taps wasn't sourced. Perhaps Bill Richer
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> can let us all know. The locale of the story does seem to be
the same in both but the suggested author of taps are different
The Story of Taps - Union Army Captain Robert Ellicombe from a note found his
dead son's pocket, who was fighting for the Confederacy.
The Virginia Way - Union Army General Butterfield
Quien Sabe?
But what about the fact that the Union Jack flies at Williamsburg instead of
Old Glory?
