remember the deadline and we'll make a post tomorrow. But
send your pictures of your Confederate veterans. Their rank, name,
and where and whom they served with to SEV Youth
Outreach at gmail dot com, and you'll be featured on
(07:24):
a special video, hopefully releasing this Friday. It depends on
how many more pictures I get with how we will be
depending on that. If I get a lot more pictures,
could be some time. If I don't get a lot
more pictures, it could be early Friday mornings. So please
(07:46):
blow us up. Let's have let's honor your veteran this April.
Of course, April is Confederate History Month, Mississippi Confistory, Confederate
History and Heritage Month, and I know a lot of
other states have different names for it. I think Texas isn't.
There's Confederate Heroes Day or my thing to something else.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Now, I think you're right.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Yeah, it can be a group photo. If you don't
have a singular picture of them, that's fine. Just kind
of tell me where that group photo is from and
I'll add that in there too. But yes, please send
them all. We want to honor your Confederate veteran this
April will again a special video like we did last year.
(08:27):
Actually i'll put the link to the one last year,
but to kind of help me out because we need
to organize the chat. Suv chat documents. Please rescind pictures
even if you send them in last year. It would
just really be beneficial to me to make sure I
don't miss anybody and just send them in and let's
(08:51):
get to work. Speaking of which, April, starting April first,
at twelve pm, will have a special view video every Wednesday,
a special rerun that highlights some of our best episodes
here at scv chat again in honor of April being
Confederate History Month. Tomorrow, we start off at twelve p.
(09:14):
I know it's not a Wednesday, but we decided to
start off here anyway. We decided to start off with
Carl Jones talking about why the war was fought, so
check that out. It will be live on YouTube and Facebook,
and then every Wednesday at seven pm there'll be a
(09:35):
rerun for all of April highlighting some of the best
scv chat has to offer, So make sure you tune
into those, especially if you haven't seen them before. There's
a cat that is just really not liking that I'm talking.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Yeah, my cats wanted to make an appearance on the
Sunday Night.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Evidently, well, I mean, my dogs made an appearance and
we all have to get our five seconds of fame
in The animals are very very needy creatures and they
need attention.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
This one's worth maybe then nine it's she's a little
senior citizen. She's an old girl.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Ah uh oh, oops, my phone's still on. But yeah,
so please again, even if you send in a picture
last year, rescind it so I don't miss you. I
would hate to leave someone out that's sit one in
just because I haven't had time to organize our documents
(10:36):
here at SCV chat, So please please please rescind them
and we'll try to have that up again by Friday
at the earliest, Saturday, probably at the latest. But yeah,
check that out. And of course we have all those
videos as of course it's April, so you know we're
gonna have a lot of great SCV chat episodes lined
(10:57):
up and we're putting all the pressure you're on Adam
to kick.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Us off, right, so restaurant me brother.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Well, I mean, who else better than the famous Adam Southern?
Speaker 5 (11:12):
And I hope y'all had a good time at the
Alabama Education Conference.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
So I went last year, really.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Enjoyed that it was a really good event. So anytime
you can get with your southern brothers and sisters, I
know it's a good time. So reasons getting ready to
kick off. So we'll be getting together with a lot
of folks coming up, and I'll be with our compatriots
in Missouri in April, so looking forward to seeing them
(11:39):
at their division reunion. And think of where else I'm going,
but I know I will be in Missouri. And this
is Mule Week in Columbia, so Mule Day is this Saturday.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
This is a real.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Big event here in Columbia. So it has been busy
for us. We'll have a lot of out of town
guests all week. I do a lot with Buel Day
or try to anyway, so this is gonna be a
real busy week for us. But I'm glad I could
take some time and come on SCV chat. Always good
to see Moose and give you all updates about our museum.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
And I'm ready to kick us off whenever you are, brother.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
All right, that sounds great, And now everybody, let us
get in our Heart and Home episode with starting off
first this wonderful picture which I have lots of questions about.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Well, we shared with the last month pictures of the
new display cases at the museum, and we're now starting
to fill those cases with artifacts, and this is one
of those artifacts. And we may have talked a little
bit about it before on a previous episode, but this
is a melodeon and it's a small pump organ and
it can be transported. This disassembles great, and it's very compact.
(12:56):
Those legs come apart and you can fold them up
and then the keyboard. Of course, as small as it is,
this can all fit basically in a big cedar trump
if you wanted to.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
I picked this up.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
From Saint Louis, Missouri, on my way back to Tennessee.
This is actually a Tennessee item, so it's basically coming home.
During the War between the States, it was here in
Tennessee and they played this for Confederate soldiers. This is
an instrument that's easy for a lady to transport, so
(13:30):
they put it on the back of the wagon. They
took it to the spot where the Confederate soldiers were mustering,
and as they marched off, they played the song just
before Battle Mother, And that's the sheet music that you
see on the back of that display case. That's what
was played on that instrument for the Confederate soldiers. So
(13:51):
very fitting that all this tied together and we were
able to bring that back to Tennessee. And this sheet
music that we selected was printed by a Confederate press
in eighteen sixty four in Richmond. So Confederate music, sheet
music and a Confederate instrument really neat.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
That is awesome.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
And this is another one of the cases that we've
put together.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
This is.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
A case that we put together about honoring the Confederate dead.
And we have on one side a Confederate monument and this
is one of the first I know it's the first
one in Tennessee, may possibly be the first one in
the United States that was a monument for unknown Confederate soldiers.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
This was put up in Union City, Tennessee.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
And this is a skilled replica of it that one
of their camp members made.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
And forgive me, I don't remember.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
The camp, but maybe they're on chat tonight can tell
me which camp they are. But they have loaned this
to the museum. You can see a postcard image of
what the monument looks like there to the left, so
gives you an idea of what the monument looks like
in person and as model, it's a really good representation
(15:13):
of it. And I've been to Union City before to
see this monument. I think it looks really nice. But
it helps us tell the story about how we have
honored our Confederate dead over the years. And on the
other side of the case, if you go onto the
next picture, we have a government issued stone. Now I
(15:34):
don't know exactly how we've come to have this, but
we have it now.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
I think this.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Was damaged when it was shipped, because there is a
little bit of damage to the top right of that tombstone,
so that it was probably replaced. But we have this
government issued stone. And we also have in the case
of variations of the Southern Cross or the iron Cross
(16:00):
there that we see in so many cemeteries. Of course,
those started out, like many other memorials, something the UDC
put together and started putting out. So the one that's
actually black and sitting on the base of the case there,
it actually has the U. D C stamp on it,
(16:21):
and it has a number on it. And I'm sure
I could call their headquarters and more than likely they
could tell me whose grave that was originally on.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
And then the other.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
One is the small little five point star that you
see there. I haven't seen any of those. Usually when
I do see them, therefore Union veterans. But this one
actually says you see s a veteran on it. And
again I'm sure that was originally on a Confederate soldier's
grave at some point. But people steal these artifacts and
(16:55):
sadly they end up in scrap yards or at flea markets.
I see them a lot, but these are some that
have been returned to us for safe keeping, so we're
able to put those on display in our museum. And
I liked the stories that we can tell through these artifacts.
And one of my favorite stories is about the legend
(17:17):
of the pointed marker. Have you ever heard that moose?
How the pointed markers came to be?
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
You know how the Confederates were forced to dig the graves,
and as they were digging the graves, the Yankees were
sitting on tombstones and watching the Confederates dig. So supposedly
the Confederate soldiers said, when y'all bury me, make sure
my tombstoint tombstone is pointed, so no Yankee sits on
my headstone. So that's why all the Confederate graves are
(17:44):
supposedly pointed.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
So nobody would sit on them.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
Now, I think that's probably a legend, but that's a
legend that helps tell the story. And Southern graves we
do know are pointed. So I'm just so enjoyed that story.
So we've included in the cemetery in the museum, but
we let people know that it's more than likely a.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Metaphorical Yeah, yeah, all right, let's see what else we have. Now,
this is something that I've been putting together.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
Uh Confederate inventions, and of course we know the Confederacy
had a lot of great inventions during the war. We
had the Hundley, we had torpedoes and all these different
military uh driven innovations that helped them during the war.
But post war, our Confederate veterans did a lot of
(18:42):
a lot of inventing. Probably the most famous one was
uh Pemberton.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
With Coca cola MHM.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Of course, that was from Atlanta, Georgia. He developed this
in a drug store and it went on to become
the most famous soft drink in the world made by.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
A Confederate soldier. Up until the nineteen.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
Forties, they were still using confederates in their advertising. So
you can see in the display, along with a bottle
from the early nineteen hundreds, there's an advertisement that features
Stonewall Jackson that they used during World War Two. So,
oh wow, has it been too long ago? They were
still using confederates and they're advertising now. These are some
(19:25):
things that I did not know that I found out
over the years. Listerine, our most famous mouthwash, was developed
by a Confederate veteran, doctor Titchener's, which is another mouthwash
today that was also developed by a Confederate veteran. The
(19:45):
Ouiji board was originally patented by a Confederate veteran, and
cotton candy was actually invented by a Confederate veteran. And
these are just some that I've been able to find
out over the years. There's another one that I'm working on,
trying to find some artifacts to go along with it.
(20:06):
But you remember watching the movie Dolphin's Tail about the
dolphin that lost its tail and they put a prosthetic
tail on it. The company that helped that dolphin was
Hanger Clinic. Now Hangar Clinic was started by a Confederate veteran.
(20:30):
The last name Hangar and he of course lost a
limb during the war. He lost his leg above the kneecap,
so he had a two part prosthetic. Back then, they
didn't do much for you. He just had a peg
leg and it was hard for him to get around.
It was uncomfortable for him, so he developed a prosthetic
(20:53):
leg that had a knee that would function and bend
in post war. Hanger Clinic because one of the best
prosthetic makers in the country, and he actually had patents
to the Confederate government for his prosthetic legs and they're
still in business today called Hanger Clinic, started by a
Confederate veter So something else will be putting in the case.
(21:18):
I'd like to find a prosthetic limb to put in
there with it. I know we can put copies of
the movie Dolphins.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Tell to help tell that story.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
You know, Confederate soldiers have made a lot of contributions
to this country and these are just a few of those.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
And if you know of any others, just let us know.
I would love to add more to this case.
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Yeah, for sure, that's an awesome display and.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
This is something that we're working on too. This is
another case. It's kind of in progress before the SCV
and in conjunction with the SCV, there have been other organizations.
The ud C, of course for women, as one of
those organizations that's done a lot to preserve Confederate history
(22:08):
and honor our ancestors. But there have been other groups
such as the Confederate Cavalry Corps that was made up
just to veterans that were from Forest Calvary people that
serve with forest over the years. So you can see
in the frame there that's some stationery and a cover
that is from the Forest Calvary Corps. So we're going
(22:32):
to try to make a case that talks about some
of these other organizations that were there before the SEV
came along, because all of it leads to us and
helps tell our story.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
There's another group that was called.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
The CSA and they were the Confederate Survivors Association. We
have a lot of Confederate Survivors Association prints that will
be put in on display as part of this, and
also Omal Jackson stuff that I think we have picture
coming up.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Next that is just awesome. First off, so our.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
Friend from Mexico came up recently and he's got a
lot of stuff on bloan to us at the museum,
and this is another piece that he's brought to us
on loan. It's a UCV uniform. But what really makes
this special is what's in the button hole there. There's
a little badge that has Stonewall Jackson on it. And
(23:29):
these things are rare, as Hen's teeth. You look to
see Stonewall Jackson in the center. These are just for
men that were from the Stonewall Brigade. So had about
six thousand men that were in the Stonewall Brigade post war,
you know, two three hundred men tops survived from that brigade,
(23:51):
So you had to be a survivor of the Stonewall
Brigade to get this pen and wear it to reunions.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
So this is rare.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
So you can't think of how many that have been
lost to time, how many don't survive anymore, And then
there weren't that many of them to begin with. So
this is a really nice example of that and glad
to have that on loan. And see there's another Stonewall
piece coming up. Well, right here we have some survivors
(24:21):
of the Stonewall Brigade and if you look at their
button holes. This isn't a really great picture. I found
it off newspapers dot com. But if you look at
some of their button holes, you can see the button
and you can see it really good. On this next
picture coming up, yeah, right under his cross of honor,
you can see that Stonewall Brigade badge. And then this
(24:47):
is a Captain Bumgardner who was part of Stonewall's brigade.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
That is just awesome.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
And another Stonewall piece that I had no idea these existed,
but there's about five thousand of them out there. There's
a medallion out there that has Stonewall Jackson's face on it,
and did you get the pictures of that one?
Speaker 4 (25:11):
I hope you did.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
Let's see, Yes, that's supposed to be Stonewall Jackson, not
a very good likeness of him. But this was designed
by a French sculptor artist, a Southern soldier who was
what he had was either wounded or had resigned his commission.
(25:37):
He went to France and was a Georgia diplomat to France,
and he found out that Stonewall Jackson died in eighteen
sixty three, and he wanted to do something to commemorate
Jackson and to honor the Stonewall Brigade. So he had
five thousand of these medallions made up and his idea
was to pass these out to all the soldiers in
(26:00):
the Stonewall Brigade. Now have to remember, there's a war
going on, and by the time these medals are post production,
he's got to get them back to the States, and
the Confederate Navy kind of non existent by eighteen sixty four,
not many shipstal in service. So he gets them on
(26:23):
a blockade runner and wasn't able to get them in
until kind of summer of eighteen sixty four, and they
had to come into North Carolina and once show the back,
it shows some of the battle honors of the Stonewall Brigade,
all the engagements that they were involved.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
In up to a certain point.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
I guess these are up to probably late sixty three
or early sixty four, so anything that they were involved
in past sixty four wouldn't be on this coin. So
by the time they get to the States, it's not.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
Looking good for the Confederacy.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
He can't find the members of the stonewaller gad to
pass these out, and they just go into storage, and
they're in storage for years and years, and finally they're
going to tear down the building that they're stored in
and they find these five thousand medals. And the man
(27:21):
who had the medals cast he had passed away in
eighteen sixty five. His widow tries to start giving these
to the members of the Stonewall Brigade that survived, so
probably just a few hundred men at this point. The
ones that she couldn't give out she tried to sell
for a dollar apiece. So you have to think there's
(27:44):
a limit of five thousand of these coins out there.
And we have one in the museum now, a really
nice looking coin. I would like to find one for
my personal collection one day.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
But oh me too, I had no idea anything like
that ever existed me.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Someone said it looked like a Caesar coin.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
It did it? Really did?
Speaker 5 (28:06):
Did you put up a comment from a past commander
in chief McMichael or counselman McMichael. Doctor Titchner was commanded
of the Louisiana UCV. He was a very interesting guy
and he supposedly came up with his formula doctor tinctures tonic.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Or whatever he calls it. He came up with that.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
During the war, he credited that with saving his leg.
He was wounded and he came up with this formula,
poured it on his wounds and it helped save his limb.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
So wow.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
It was used for all kinds of stuff in the
early and nineteen hundreds, but now it's just recommended for
a mouthwash. And there's also a doctor Titchener's toothpaste that
they still make today too, So we have a bottle
of the formula that they still have. I think past
Commander in chief Boast years loaned that to us. They
(29:04):
gave him a bottle of that when he went to
the Louisiana to speak, I think so he gave.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
Us that bottle on loan.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
And I actually found one of the original bottles on
eBay and those original bottles had the battleflag on so
that was really cool to see.
Speaker 3 (29:20):

southern Middle Tennessee. A home constructed in eighteen thirty seven,

their name, rank to su youth outreaching jamail dot com.
If you don't have a picture of them, a picture
of their stone, their service record, anything, please send it
(34:19):
in so we can honor our veterans. Even if you
send it in last year, send it in again this year.
And I guess this is news.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
Con will.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
It's more of a warning if you won't. If you
don't want to have to see Conro, don't tune in
next Monday. But no, no, we're happy the songbird of
our generation is coming back next Monday. We have missed him.
I cannot wait to throw all of April on him
(34:55):
as I take a vacation and he can he can
just suffer alone for a while planning all of April.
But no, it's good to have Conrod back and make
sure to tune in next week to see him and
past man in chief Larry mclooney talk about Fort Sumpner
(35:15):
and Beauregard. All right, and you Jinx, you owe me
a certain beverage m now water right, Well we could
go with that. I suppose I was thinking of the
(35:36):
more stronger variety.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
Okay, sell a corner, not that strong?
Speaker 3 (35:43):
Okay, that one scares me? All right, but uh adam,
without any further ado, that's all I gotta say. So
let's dive back into your business, con sir.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
Let's see what we have after the day. And I'm lost.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
So this beautiful flag, all right.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
Yeah, there's another great item that came in. You may.
Speaker 5 (36:10):
A great thing about my job is you never know
what's going to come in from day to day. You
can see the boxes back behind there we had and
this is no exaggeration or joke. We had over four
hundred books come in in two days, so I have
a lot to a lot of work to do in
the library. But this battle flag came in and this
(36:32):
is you're looking at. You know immediately this is not
a war between the state's items. This is a prim flag.
It is from the Korean War. And this came from
a local soldier from Columbia, Tennessee who was in World
excuse me, Korea in Korea and he was ordered to
(36:53):
take a heel and it was Kelly's heel in nineteen
fifty two. And as he is taking the hill, he
was ordered to wave a flag once they cleared the Chinese,
and he said this was the only flag he had
with him, so he attached it to his rifle and
he's signaled command they had taken the hill. And he
(37:15):
packed this up and sent it back with this letter
to Columbia, Tennessee. And as I was a kid, I
remember going into the local American Legion hall and seeing
this hanged on the wall. And unfortunately, our American Legion
closed its location in Columbia and his family. This belonged
(37:39):
to a Captain Henry Borum his family went and got
this flag and they are SCV members. One of his
family members is he went and got the flag and said,
I know where it needs to go, and he brought.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
It to us.
Speaker 5 (37:54):
So we'll be putting this on display pretty soon. I
think it's a really neat item.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
It.
Speaker 5 (37:59):
We know our Southern soldiers have carried the battle flag
into every war since the War between the States, and
this is one from Korea.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
That is just wonderful. And speaking of a couple books
that you have to go through.
Speaker 5 (38:18):
Oh yeah, there's the full table that gives you the
full shot there. So this if you were at headquarters
at the beginning of the month, we had our GC
meeting in this room. This is what's happened since the
GESUS Sea meeting. So I'll be battling this and trying
to get it under control and so we can have
(38:39):
a meeting in there in October. So and I think
there's more items coming in the next couple of weeks,
which which is a great thing to happen. I'm not
complaining a bit now.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
I have seen this next picture and I will say,
if you just like feel inclined since you shot me
in the forehead at the moose hunt to get me
some of these items, I wouldn't be hurt.
Speaker 5 (39:07):
Oh yeah, this is a I wanted to share some
of our SCV merchandise today, and we we were gifted
a wall back, uh, a lot of mannequins, and uh,
I was driving through town with all these mannequins in
the back seat, and some of them were females and
(39:27):
they needed to be covered up. And I was hoping
nobody would see me driving through town with all these
naked people in the back. But Jill and Eric said,
you know, we can put one of those to you.
So Eric had a spare jacket and this is one
of those special made SCV jackets. So if you open
(39:48):
this up, it's got the silk lining inside and I
think it's SCV inside.
Speaker 4 (39:54):
This is uh.
Speaker 5 (39:55):
I don't know what exactly the size is, but if
it's your size, it's for sale.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (40:02):
But we have a lot of great items if you
want to dress up full s t V. We have
s c B cuff links, SCB bow ties. You can
see the SCB lapel pens and of course the officers
medals that we have as well. So uh, we can
deck you out if you want to come to headquarters
or go to our online store s CV dot org.
Speaker 4 (40:24):
Uh, we can, we can fix you up.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
Well, someone I just got called fat in the.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
Chat, you and not me.
Speaker 5 (40:37):
I guess they're saying, if you won't fit moves, it's
definitely not gonna fit out them.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
So because I was about to say, well, I'm gonna
try that on next time I'm up there, and someone
legit right before the words come out of my mouth,
Jason Lloyd says, suits look looks a bit small for
a Moose emoji. So I have been called fat on
my own show. Now that's a new one. Five years
(41:03):
of this five years, and that's the first time I've
just been called quite large, which I mean, I can't
say his line, but I have dreams, dag Nabbitt, I
would love sev them jackets shirts.
Speaker 5 (41:21):
He may just want to buy this, or it can
be his inspiration piece. You know, I'm working to get
in this jacket here.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
Depending on how small it is, there might not be
any inspiration that's gonna make that happen. Yeah, oh gosh.
And now Sean's saying that maybe he wants it, and
Todd is telling me he found a new moose Onesie.
We're just gonna strip right through that into Adam's next topic,
which is events.
Speaker 5 (41:48):
All right, So coming up on April nineteenth, I'm calling
this Columbia Confederate History Day.
Speaker 4 (41:56):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (41:56):
We are having a memorial service at Rosehill Cemetery and
that's where our local Confederate monument is in Columbia, Tennessee.
The UDC always has a memorial service there at the
Confederate section in Roach Hill Cemetery. One hundred and twenty
Confederate soldiers buried in this one section. Beautiful Confederate monument
(42:16):
place there by the ud C in the eighteen eighties,
so this was pre ud C actually. So they have
a great speaker lined up this year. This is past
Commander in Chief Jason Bouchiers. He's going to be the
speaker there on the nineteenth at ten am, and we're
(42:37):
trying to get as many people there as we can.
So if you want to come to Columbia, Tennessee, we're
gonna make it worth your while this day. You come
here at ten am, you come to the memorial service.
Then at eleven am, our museum is going to open
and we'll be opening till four pm. So there may
(42:57):
be some food there the UDC ladies have. They're all
good cooks. My wife's one up, so you know they're
good cooks. And now they're gonna have some refreshments there.
And you're welcome to buy a mission to the museum
and visit there from eleven until four and then at
(43:17):
four point thirty we're going back to the cemetery if
you want to join us, and we're having the Confederates
of rose Hill walking to her and we're going to
take you around to some of the Confederate graves and
Rose Hill Cemetery. My wife and I are both local
historians and we'll be leading the tour and we have
a lot of great people there to talk about. Major
(43:39):
Nathaniel Chairs, the man who was forced to go surrender
to us Grant at Fort Donaldson. He's buried there at
rose Hill. Brigadier General.
Speaker 4 (43:52):
I forget who he is.
Speaker 5 (43:55):
Carpenter Carter Carter, excuse me, John c Carter, he's buried
at rose Hill. He was killed at the Battle of Franklin.
Donnington was a captain in the Confederate Navy. There's many
great stories there in rose Hill Cemetery. Over three hundred
and seventy Confederate soldiers in the cemetery, so we have
(44:15):
a lot of people we can talk about, but we're
going to try to keep it to about forty five minutes,
so if not, we could keep you in there all
day long. But if you want to come to that tour,
it is ten dollars per person. The proceeds will benefit
Rose Hill Cemetery. And so this is Confederate History Day
in Columbia, Tennessee. So come and see us on the nineteenth.
(44:38):
I hope you can make it.
Speaker 3 (44:42):
Man, I wish I could get up there. I might
hitch hike so I can get up there, so I
can spend a day. But definitely definitely go up to
HQ that day, everybody, because it's going to be a
big day.
Speaker 5 (44:55):
And if you can't make it, we can see you
on the date of our pilgrimage, or we hope we'll
see there on that date. And that is May third,
so we know that April nineteenth. I believe that's the
day before Easter. So some people may have family commitments
and not able to make it, but this is our
pilgrimage date. It's always the first Saturday in May. This
(45:18):
is our fifth pilgrimage. Believe it or not, we've been
doing this for five years. Time flies when you're having fun, Moose,
So looking forward to seeing everybody. Mister Ron Candy will
be our keynote speaker for that event on the third
of May, and we will be having all the floral
(45:41):
tributes at the Jefferson Davis Monument this year, so we've
come full circle. We've gone to all the other monuments
on the property and we're back at jeff Davis and
really looking forward to that. It's going to be a
busy day. Not only will the pilgrimage be going on,
will also be having Camp twenty nine, which is our
(46:03):
local camp in Columbia. They're hosting a car show on
the property this day, so I hope y'all can come
to that as well. So come for the Confederate Memorial
stay and see the cars. So there'll be a lot
to do, a lot of food trucks. So we're actually
going to have food there on the property this year,
which is big because you know before if you got
(46:26):
a hungry you had to leave, go get lunch, come back.
We'll have lunch there for you that day if you
want to go visit the food trucks.
Speaker 3 (46:34):
I'm not going to lie to you, Adam. I was
coming for the pilgrimage anyway, but I see another reason
why I should come, and we've talked about it before.
The mobile cigar lounge.
Speaker 4 (46:49):
Oh yeah, that's got me excited too.
Speaker 5 (46:52):
If anybody gets looking for me, they'll be saying, hey,
where's that im at.
Speaker 4 (46:55):
You'll see a cloud of smoke over there. Anything you
don't where I'll be at.
Speaker 3 (47:01):
Well, I mean, at least you're honest.
Speaker 4 (47:07):
So it's gonna be a busy day.
Speaker 5 (47:08):
Really looking forward to May third, I think it's going
to be a great day for the Southern Heritage Center.
Any day that we can get people on our property
is a great day. And you know, the car show
brings in people that don't normally come because you know,
people that aren't interested in Confederate history, but hey, they
love cars. Once they come to see the cars, we're
(47:31):
gonna educate them about Confederate history. It's a win win
for We're getting them on our property. And once they're there, hey,
we can teach them a thing or two.
Speaker 3 (47:41):
It's the name of the game. And I think we
have one more event to talk about.
Speaker 5 (47:45):
Yeah, we have one more. I think, well, this goes
along with the pilgrims every year. People like to bring
wreath or other flower arrangements. But if you want to
bring something that you can leave at headquarters and we
can plant. Uh, here's a list of things that we
would like to have on the property. We have of course, gardenias,
(48:08):
cherry trees to it, popular trees, dogwood trees, burn them, jasmine, lilac,
looking for some oak leaf high tranges, rhododendron, and for scythia.
So those are just some selections that you might can
make that would be period correct for planting around Elm
Springs or uh till it. Popular trees are really fast growing,
(48:32):
and we don't have any shade over at the museum,
so we're thinking, uh, find something that's fast growing and
to it. Popular trees are indigenous to this area in Tennessee.
All the floors in Elm Springs were made out of poplar,
So I'd love to see some popular trees back on
(48:52):
the property. They cut them all down when they built
Elm Springs so they could cut the wood up for
the floors. Some suggestions of things you might bring with you.
You don't have to bring anything We just love to
see you, So make plans to attend the pilgrimage on
(49:13):
May third.
Speaker 3 (49:16):
I can't wait. I'll either be there for full of
tributes or other duties. I have to talk to a
certain cee I see about that speaking of officers, looks
like mister Ron Candy switched in from YouTube and Jamie
Graham said, it's good. He's honest.
Speaker 4 (49:40):
Good to see Commander Graham on the chat tonight.
Speaker 3 (49:44):
It's always good to have Commander Graham on. Fun fact,
him and my little brother share the last the same
last name.
Speaker 5 (49:52):
Really, Amander Graham has been a pleasure getting to know
him since he's been on the GC.
Speaker 4 (49:58):
He's a great guy.
Speaker 3 (50:00):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (50:00):
Of course, Ryan Candy's in the chat. He's going to
be our keynote speaker on the third. He says, we
ran out of good speakers. That's why we had him. No,
that's not the case. Everybody loves to hear the Candies.
So looking forward to having him there on the third.
And we're gonna have a great event that day.
Speaker 4 (50:18):
So I don't know. Yeah, we do have a cypress
tree already at On Springs. We have a bond of cypress.
Speaker 3 (50:26):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (50:26):
That is probably one of the biggest trees on our
property is right in front of the house, and I
don't know how it survived all these years, but it has.
I'm not going to ask any questions on that.
Speaker 3 (50:40):
Well. Yeah, and you also have a random magnolia tree.
Let's not forget about the hat. Yeah, yeah, random from
the from the Mississippi Division.
Speaker 4 (50:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (50:51):
And Jamie says that he has us all fooled. Jack Nabbott.
If I knew that you were fully me Commander, I
wouldn't have wouldn't have volunteered to work with you. But uh,
I'm joking. I'm joking, Commander Graham. We'll be scheduling to
get you on soon. We'll be getting all the army
officers on soon. So I can't wait to have him
(51:14):
back on again. I have missed our Commander Graham. Uh.
He was very funny to have on the show. It
was it was chaotic, kind of like me and Adam.
It's it's a training wreck, but you really can't look away.
Speaker 5 (51:27):
Hey, yeah, I thought we've been doing pretty good tonight.
This is we've kind of stayed on track.
Speaker 3 (51:33):
Oh yeah, it's it's really like weird. I don't know
if we've done this in the history of Mark and Home.
We usually go off the rails at some point. Wait, okay,
all right, I got two things. First off, all right,
we have a tree that's won an award. Is that correct?
Speaker 5 (51:52):
Yes, So we have a large red oak is a
schue Marta that's in our backyard at down Springs, and
it is the Tennessee Grand Champion tree. It's the largest
of that variety in Tennessee that we know of until
somebody can find another one bigger, we're the grand Champion.
And then we have another that's been designated as a
(52:13):
historic tree. It's them tree that's in our backyard because
it was a witness tree to the war. It was
standing there during the war between the States. And I'm
sure the su mar red oak was too, as large
as it is, but both of those would have been
witness to the war and the Confederate Calary riding end
(52:35):
to save the day.
Speaker 3 (52:41):
That is just some of the cool history you can
get when you come up to our h Q. And
trust me, if you're there and you can get Adam
to give you a tour, it is the best thing ever.
But he does withhold tours from certain people.
Speaker 4 (52:56):
Yeah. Mayley Moose.
Speaker 3 (53:02):
But I do want to agree with my dad here
real quick with a big thank you to you, Adam
and all who have worked to turn that once empty
museum into a building into a true museum. Not only that,
but all the work y'all do for our headquarters. And
I mean, I know you, Kayla and Eric, everybody there.
(53:24):
I'll forget someone if I try to go through down
the names, but y'all all work your butt off and
we can't thank you enough. And I can't thank you
enough for coming on tonight, even though you have a
super busy month and week.
Speaker 5 (53:36):
That's all right, glad to do it, and thank y'all.
It's been a pleasure. I've enjoyed every minute of it.
Pretty much. The good definitely outweighs the bad. Now you
think about all some of the bad days you have,
but when you have more good days than you do bad,
it makes it.
Speaker 4 (53:52):
All worth it.
Speaker 5 (53:53):
And it's really a pleasure to work for the SCV
and get to work with you, Moose.
Speaker 3 (54:02):
Oh, the pleasure is all mine. Director Southern and very
formal tonight, but it's good to always have you on command,
a Commander Adam. Uh. Probably one of the episodes I
look forward to the most, simply because I do know
(54:22):
at some point it will be a train wreck and
me and Adam will talk about something that has nothing
to do with our wonderful HQ, our museum.
Speaker 4 (54:33):
So we actually had an episode on point tonight.
Speaker 3 (54:35):
So I think we deserve a free cigar when that
cigarrup shows up at the pilgrimage.
Speaker 4 (54:43):
I think so we might be able to work something out.
Speaker 3 (54:45):
I think our Commander Chief, I know he's busy and
he's not watching, so he can't defend himself, but it's
twin brothers watching, he can tell him has to buy
us cigars for steak for doing our job tonight.
Speaker 4 (54:58):
Adam, I'll let you work that one out.
Speaker 3 (55:04):
I don't want to be put on the do not
read state list, but yes, I agree with my father
again and past Commander in Chief Jason Boshears. We have
a fantastic staff at HQ that really works hard, and
I always love going up there to help what little
(55:25):
I can do, whether it's move furniture, get hit with
a corn dog, or help out and move something, or
just help with filing or moving stuff, because y'all do
so much, and I know it's not much, but I
do I do like coming up there to help and
spending time with y'all. So again, thank you for everything
(55:46):
you do, Adam, everybody, and I guess without further ado,
make sure to share this episode out so everybody gets
their update about what's going on at HQ and the
world wonderful stuff that's happening up there, and of course
they get to see the Baseball Hall of Famer Adam Southern.
And make sure to tune in this Thirday Thursday's for
(56:09):
Commander's Comments, where we'll have Commander in Chief Walter D.
Johnny Kennedy on to give an update that what has that,
what the SEV leadership has been doing. I'll get it
out eventually, but it will be at seven pm Confederate
Standard time, same Confederate channel. So make sure I see
(56:30):
you this Thursday. Again. Make sure to tune in tomorrow,
April first, at twelve o'clock on your lunch break if
you have. I didn't even think about that when up
in the episode on there. I should have. I should
have told everybody, but I didn't, and I'm gonna regret
(56:53):
that now. But tune in. We have a video of
Army of Tennessee Commander Carl Jones talking about why the
war fought in a wonderful program to start off April
Confederate History Month. And then every Wednesday, we have a
rerun of some of the best scv chat episodes that
(57:15):
we have again talking about the veterans, bringing honor to
them and what they've went through. Again, that will be happening.
And of course we have a stacked Monday show and
a stacked Tuesday shows this month. So make sure to
keep in touch on SCV chat, on Facebook and Instagram,
(57:36):
and make sure I see you Thursday. So Eric's late. Eric,
I gave you a compliment and I will I will
never do it again. You're gonna have to rewind it
because you were late. But no, no, thank thank you
for showing up.

Eric.
Speaker 3 (57:52):
We're all late. Sometimes you can rewatch it. I did
say nice things about you for once. You know me,
me and Eric. He's so he bullies me. Let's put
that on there. But uh, if anybody, if anybody's got
anything else to say to Adam, our wonderful executive director,

Speaker 3 (08:06):
Yeah, it can be a group photo. If you don't
have a singular picture of them, that's fine. Just kind
of tell me where that group photo is from and
I'll add that in there too. But yes, please send
them all. We want to honor your Confederate veteran this
April will again a special video like we did last year.
(08:27):
Actually i'll put the link to the one last year,
but to kind of help me out because we need
to organize the chat. Suv chat documents. Please rescind pictures
even if you send them in last year. It would
just really be beneficial to me to make sure I
don't miss anybody and just send them in and let's
(08:51):
get to work. Speaking of which, April, starting April first,
at twelve pm, will have a special view video every Wednesday,
a special rerun that highlights some of our best episodes
here at scv chat again in honor of April being
Confederate History Month. Tomorrow, we start off at twelve p.
(09:14):
I know it's not a Wednesday, but we decided to
start off here anyway. We decided to start off with
Carl Jones talking about why the war was fought, so
check that out. It will be live on YouTube and Facebook,
and then every Wednesday at seven pm there'll be a
(09:35):
rerun for all of April highlighting some of the best
scv chat has to offer, So make sure you tune
into those, especially if you haven't seen them before. There's
a cat that is just really not liking that I'm talking.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Yeah, my cats wanted to make an appearance on the
Sunday Night.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Evidently, well, I mean, my dogs made an appearance and
we all have to get our five seconds of fame
in The animals are very very needy creatures and they
need attention.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
This one's worth maybe then nine it's she's a little
senior citizen. She's an old girl.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Ah uh oh, oops, my phone's still on. But yeah,
so please again, even if you send in a picture
last year, rescind it so I don't miss you. I
would hate to leave someone out that's sit one in
just because I haven't had time to organize our documents
(10:36):
here at SCV chat, So please please please rescind them
and we'll try to have that up again by Friday
at the earliest, Saturday, probably at the latest. But yeah,
check that out. And of course we have all those
videos as of course it's April, so you know we're
gonna have a lot of great SCV chat episodes lined
(10:57):
up and we're putting all the pressure you're on Adam
to kick.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Us off, right, so restaurant me brother.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Well, I mean, who else better than the famous Adam Southern?
Speaker 5 (11:12):
And I hope y'all had a good time at the
Alabama Education Conference.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
So I went last year, really.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Enjoyed that it was a really good event. So anytime
you can get with your southern brothers and sisters, I
know it's a good time. So reasons getting ready to
kick off. So we'll be getting together with a lot
of folks coming up, and I'll be with our compatriots
in Missouri in April, so looking forward to seeing them
(11:39):
at their division reunion. And think of where else I'm going,
but I know I will be in Missouri. And this
is Mule Week in Columbia, so Mule Day is this Saturday.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
This is a real.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Big event here in Columbia. So it has been busy
for us. We'll have a lot of out of town
guests all week. I do a lot with Buel Day
or try to anyway, so this is gonna be a
real busy week for us. But I'm glad I could
take some time and come on SCV chat. Always good
to see Moose and give you all updates about our museum.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
And I'm ready to kick us off whenever you are, brother.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
All right, that sounds great, And now everybody, let us
get in our Heart and Home episode with starting off
first this wonderful picture which I have lots of questions about.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Well, we shared with the last month pictures of the
new display cases at the museum, and we're now starting
to fill those cases with artifacts, and this is one
of those artifacts. And we may have talked a little
bit about it before on a previous episode, but this
is a melodeon and it's a small pump organ and
it can be transported. This disassembles great, and it's very compact.
(12:56):
Those legs come apart and you can fold them up
and then the keyboard. Of course, as small as it is,
this can all fit basically in a big cedar trump
if you wanted to.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
I picked this up.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
From Saint Louis, Missouri, on my way back to Tennessee.
This is actually a Tennessee item, so it's basically coming home.
During the War between the States, it was here in
Tennessee and they played this for Confederate soldiers. This is
an instrument that's easy for a lady to transport, so
(13:30):
they put it on the back of the wagon. They
took it to the spot where the Confederate soldiers were mustering,
and as they marched off, they played the song just
before Battle Mother, And that's the sheet music that you
see on the back of that display case. That's what
was played on that instrument for the Confederate soldiers. So
(13:51):
very fitting that all this tied together and we were
able to bring that back to Tennessee. And this sheet
music that we selected was printed by a Confederate press
in eighteen sixty four in Richmond. So Confederate music, sheet
music and a Confederate instrument really neat.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
That is awesome.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
And this is another one of the cases that we've
put together.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
This is.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
A case that we put together about honoring the Confederate dead.
And we have on one side a Confederate monument and this
is one of the first I know it's the first
one in Tennessee, may possibly be the first one in
the United States that was a monument for unknown Confederate soldiers.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
This was put up in Union City, Tennessee.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
And this is a skilled replica of it that one
of their camp members made.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
And forgive me, I don't remember.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
The camp, but maybe they're on chat tonight can tell
me which camp they are. But they have loaned this
to the museum. You can see a postcard image of
what the monument looks like there to the left, so
gives you an idea of what the monument looks like
in person and as model, it's a really good representation
(15:13):
of it. And I've been to Union City before to
see this monument. I think it looks really nice. But
it helps us tell the story about how we have
honored our Confederate dead over the years. And on the
other side of the case, if you go onto the
next picture, we have a government issued stone. Now I
(15:34):
don't know exactly how we've come to have this, but
we have it now.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
I think this.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Was damaged when it was shipped, because there is a
little bit of damage to the top right of that tombstone,
so that it was probably replaced. But we have this
government issued stone. And we also have in the case
of variations of the Southern Cross or the iron Cross
(16:00):
there that we see in so many cemeteries. Of course,
those started out, like many other memorials, something the UDC
put together and started putting out. So the one that's
actually black and sitting on the base of the case there,
it actually has the U. D C stamp on it,
(16:21):
and it has a number on it. And I'm sure
I could call their headquarters and more than likely they
could tell me whose grave that was originally on.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
And then the other.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
One is the small little five point star that you
see there. I haven't seen any of those. Usually when
I do see them, therefore Union veterans. But this one
actually says you see s a veteran on it. And
again I'm sure that was originally on a Confederate soldier's
grave at some point. But people steal these artifacts and
(16:55):
sadly they end up in scrap yards or at flea markets.
I see them a lot, but these are some that
have been returned to us for safe keeping, so we're
able to put those on display in our museum. And
I liked the stories that we can tell through these artifacts.
And one of my favorite stories is about the legend
(17:17):
of the pointed marker. Have you ever heard that moose?
How the pointed markers came to be?
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
You know how the Confederates were forced to dig the graves,
and as they were digging the graves, the Yankees were
sitting on tombstones and watching the Confederates dig. So supposedly
the Confederate soldiers said, when y'all bury me, make sure
my tombstoint tombstone is pointed, so no Yankee sits on
my headstone. So that's why all the Confederate graves are
(17:44):
supposedly pointed.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
So nobody would sit on them.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
Now, I think that's probably a legend, but that's a
legend that helps tell the story. And Southern graves we
do know are pointed. So I'm just so enjoyed that story.
So we've included in the cemetery in the museum, but
we let people know that it's more than likely a.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Metaphorical Yeah, yeah, all right, let's see what else we have. Now,
this is something that I've been putting together.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
Uh Confederate inventions, and of course we know the Confederacy
had a lot of great inventions during the war. We
had the Hundley, we had torpedoes and all these different
military uh driven innovations that helped them during the war.
But post war, our Confederate veterans did a lot of
(18:42):
a lot of inventing. Probably the most famous one was
uh Pemberton.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
With Coca cola MHM.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Of course, that was from Atlanta, Georgia. He developed this
in a drug store and it went on to become
the most famous soft drink in the world made by.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
A Confederate soldier. Up until the nineteen.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
Forties, they were still using confederates in their advertising. So
you can see in the display, along with a bottle
from the early nineteen hundreds, there's an advertisement that features
Stonewall Jackson that they used during World War Two. So,
oh wow, has it been too long ago? They were
still using confederates and they're advertising now. These are some
(19:25):
things that I did not know that I found out
over the years. Listerine, our most famous mouthwash, was developed
by a Confederate veteran, doctor Titchener's, which is another mouthwash
today that was also developed by a Confederate veteran. The
(19:45):
Ouiji board was originally patented by a Confederate veteran, and
cotton candy was actually invented by a Confederate veteran. And
these are just some that I've been able to find
out over the years. There's another one that I'm working on,
trying to find some artifacts to go along with it.
(20:06):
But you remember watching the movie Dolphin's Tail about the
dolphin that lost its tail and they put a prosthetic
tail on it. The company that helped that dolphin was
Hanger Clinic. Now Hangar Clinic was started by a Confederate veteran.
(20:30):
The last name Hangar and he of course lost a
limb during the war. He lost his leg above the kneecap,
so he had a two part prosthetic. Back then, they
didn't do much for you. He just had a peg
leg and it was hard for him to get around.
It was uncomfortable for him, so he developed a prosthetic
(20:53):
leg that had a knee that would function and bend
in post war. Hanger Clinic because one of the best
prosthetic makers in the country, and he actually had patents
to the Confederate government for his prosthetic legs and they're
still in business today called Hanger Clinic, started by a
Confederate veter So something else will be putting in the case.
(21:18):
I'd like to find a prosthetic limb to put in
there with it. I know we can put copies of
the movie Dolphins.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Tell to help tell that story.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
You know, Confederate soldiers have made a lot of contributions
to this country and these are just a few of those.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
And if you know of any others, just let us know.
I would love to add more to this case.
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Yeah, for sure, that's an awesome display and.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
This is something that we're working on too. This is
another case. It's kind of in progress before the SCV
and in conjunction with the SCV, there have been other organizations.
The ud C, of course for women, as one of
those organizations that's done a lot to preserve Confederate history
(22:08):
and honor our ancestors. But there have been other groups
such as the Confederate Cavalry Corps that was made up
just to veterans that were from Forest Calvary people that
serve with forest over the years. So you can see
in the frame there that's some stationery and a cover
that is from the Forest Calvary Corps. So we're going
(22:32):
to try to make a case that talks about some
of these other organizations that were there before the SEV
came along, because all of it leads to us and
helps tell our story.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
There's another group that was called.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
The CSA and they were the Confederate Survivors Association. We
have a lot of Confederate Survivors Association prints that will
be put in on display as part of this, and
also Omal Jackson stuff that I think we have picture
coming up.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Next that is just awesome. First off, so our.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
Friend from Mexico came up recently and he's got a
lot of stuff on bloan to us at the museum,
and this is another piece that he's brought to us
on loan. It's a UCV uniform. But what really makes
this special is what's in the button hole there. There's
a little badge that has Stonewall Jackson on it. And
(23:29):
these things are rare, as Hen's teeth. You look to
see Stonewall Jackson in the center. These are just for
men that were from the Stonewall Brigade. So had about
six thousand men that were in the Stonewall Brigade post war,
you know, two three hundred men tops survived from that brigade,
(23:51):
So you had to be a survivor of the Stonewall
Brigade to get this pen and wear it to reunions.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
So this is rare.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
So you can't think of how many that have been
lost to time, how many don't survive anymore, And then
there weren't that many of them to begin with. So
this is a really nice example of that and glad
to have that on loan. And see there's another Stonewall
piece coming up. Well, right here we have some survivors
(24:21):
of the Stonewall Brigade and if you look at their
button holes. This isn't a really great picture. I found
it off newspapers dot com. But if you look at
some of their button holes, you can see the button
and you can see it really good. On this next
picture coming up, yeah, right under his cross of honor,
you can see that Stonewall Brigade badge. And then this
(24:47):
is a Captain Bumgardner who was part of Stonewall's brigade.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
That is just awesome.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
And another Stonewall piece that I had no idea these existed,
but there's about five thousand of them out there. There's
a medallion out there that has Stonewall Jackson's face on it,
and did you get the pictures of that one?
Speaker 4 (25:11):
I hope you did.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
Let's see, Yes, that's supposed to be Stonewall Jackson, not
a very good likeness of him. But this was designed
by a French sculptor artist, a Southern soldier who was
what he had was either wounded or had resigned his commission.
(25:37):
He went to France and was a Georgia diplomat to France,
and he found out that Stonewall Jackson died in eighteen
sixty three, and he wanted to do something to commemorate
Jackson and to honor the Stonewall Brigade. So he had
five thousand of these medallions made up and his idea
was to pass these out to all the soldiers in
(26:00):
the Stonewall Brigade. Now have to remember, there's a war
going on, and by the time these medals are post production,
he's got to get them back to the States, and
the Confederate Navy kind of non existent by eighteen sixty four,
not many shipstal in service. So he gets them on
(26:23):
a blockade runner and wasn't able to get them in
until kind of summer of eighteen sixty four, and they
had to come into North Carolina and once show the back,
it shows some of the battle honors of the Stonewall Brigade,
all the engagements that they were involved.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
In up to a certain point.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
I guess these are up to probably late sixty three
or early sixty four, so anything that they were involved
in past sixty four wouldn't be on this coin. So
by the time they get to the States, it's not.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
Looking good for the Confederacy.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
He can't find the members of the stonewaller gad to
pass these out, and they just go into storage, and
they're in storage for years and years, and finally they're
going to tear down the building that they're stored in
and they find these five thousand medals. And the man
(27:21):
who had the medals cast he had passed away in
eighteen sixty five. His widow tries to start giving these
to the members of the Stonewall Brigade that survived, so
probably just a few hundred men at this point. The
ones that she couldn't give out she tried to sell
for a dollar apiece. So you have to think there's
(27:44):
a limit of five thousand of these coins out there.
And we have one in the museum now, a really
nice looking coin. I would like to find one for
my personal collection one day.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
But oh me too, I had no idea anything like
that ever existed me.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Someone said it looked like a Caesar coin.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
It did it? Really did?
Speaker 5 (28:06):
Did you put up a comment from a past commander
in chief McMichael or counselman McMichael. Doctor Titchner was commanded
of the Louisiana UCV. He was a very interesting guy
and he supposedly came up with his formula doctor tinctures tonic.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Or whatever he calls it. He came up with that.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
During the war, he credited that with saving his leg.
He was wounded and he came up with this formula,
poured it on his wounds and it helped save his limb.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
So wow.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
It was used for all kinds of stuff in the
early and nineteen hundreds, but now it's just recommended for
a mouthwash. And there's also a doctor Titchener's toothpaste that
they still make today too, So we have a bottle
of the formula that they still have. I think past
Commander in chief Boast years loaned that to us. They
(29:04):
gave him a bottle of that when he went to
the Louisiana to speak, I think so he gave.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
Us that bottle on loan.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
And I actually found one of the original bottles on
eBay and those original bottles had the battleflag on so
that was really cool to see.
Speaker 3 (29:20):

Speaker 3 (34:34):
It's more of a warning if you won't. If you
don't want to have to see Conro, don't tune in
next Monday. But no, no, we're happy the songbird of
our generation is coming back next Monday. We have missed him.
I cannot wait to throw all of April on him
(34:55):
as I take a vacation and he can he can
just suffer alone for a while planning all of April.
But no, it's good to have Conrod back and make
sure to tune in next week to see him and
past man in chief Larry mclooney talk about Fort Sumpner
(35:15):
and Beauregard. All right, and you Jinx, you owe me
a certain beverage m now water right, Well we could
go with that. I suppose I was thinking of the
(35:36):
more stronger variety.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
Okay, sell a corner, not that strong?
Speaker 3 (35:43):
Okay, that one scares me? All right, but uh adam,
without any further ado, that's all I gotta say. So
let's dive back into your business, con sir.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
Let's see what we have after the day. And I'm lost.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
So this beautiful flag, all right.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
Yeah, there's another great item that came in. You may.
Speaker 5 (36:10):
A great thing about my job is you never know
what's going to come in from day to day. You
can see the boxes back behind there we had and
this is no exaggeration or joke. We had over four
hundred books come in in two days, so I have
a lot to a lot of work to do in
the library. But this battle flag came in and this
(36:32):
is you're looking at. You know immediately this is not
a war between the state's items. This is a prim flag.
It is from the Korean War. And this came from
a local soldier from Columbia, Tennessee who was in World
excuse me, Korea in Korea and he was ordered to
(36:53):
take a heel and it was Kelly's heel in nineteen
fifty two. And as he is taking the hill, he
was ordered to wave a flag once they cleared the Chinese,
and he said this was the only flag he had
with him, so he attached it to his rifle and
he's signaled command they had taken the hill. And he
(37:15):
packed this up and sent it back with this letter
to Columbia, Tennessee. And as I was a kid, I
remember going into the local American Legion hall and seeing
this hanged on the wall. And unfortunately, our American Legion
closed its location in Columbia and his family. This belonged
(37:39):
to a Captain Henry Borum his family went and got
this flag and they are SCV members. One of his
family members is he went and got the flag and said,
I know where it needs to go, and he brought.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
It to us.
Speaker 5 (37:54):
So we'll be putting this on display pretty soon. I
think it's a really neat item.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
It.
Speaker 5 (37:59):
We know our Southern soldiers have carried the battle flag
into every war since the War between the States, and
this is one from Korea.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
That is just wonderful. And speaking of a couple books
that you have to go through.
Speaker 5 (38:18):
Oh yeah, there's the full table that gives you the
full shot there. So this if you were at headquarters
at the beginning of the month, we had our GC
meeting in this room. This is what's happened since the
GESUS Sea meeting. So I'll be battling this and trying
to get it under control and so we can have
(38:39):
a meeting in there in October. So and I think
there's more items coming in the next couple of weeks,
which which is a great thing to happen. I'm not
complaining a bit now.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
I have seen this next picture and I will say,
if you just like feel inclined since you shot me
in the forehead at the moose hunt to get me
some of these items, I wouldn't be hurt.
Speaker 5 (39:07):
Oh yeah, this is a I wanted to share some
of our SCV merchandise today, and we we were gifted
a wall back, uh, a lot of mannequins, and uh,
I was driving through town with all these mannequins in
the back seat, and some of them were females and
(39:27):
they needed to be covered up. And I was hoping
nobody would see me driving through town with all these
naked people in the back. But Jill and Eric said,
you know, we can put one of those to you.
So Eric had a spare jacket and this is one
of those special made SCV jackets. So if you open
(39:48):
this up, it's got the silk lining inside and I
think it's SCV inside.
Speaker 4 (39:54):
This is uh.
Speaker 5 (39:55):
I don't know what exactly the size is, but if
it's your size, it's for sale.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (40:02):
But we have a lot of great items if you
want to dress up full s t V. We have
s c B cuff links, SCB bow ties. You can
see the SCB lapel pens and of course the officers
medals that we have as well. So uh, we can
deck you out if you want to come to headquarters
or go to our online store s CV dot org.
Speaker 4 (40:24):
Uh, we can, we can fix you up.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
Well, someone I just got called fat in the.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
Chat, you and not me.
Speaker 5 (40:37):
I guess they're saying, if you won't fit moves, it's
definitely not gonna fit out them.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
So because I was about to say, well, I'm gonna
try that on next time I'm up there, and someone
legit right before the words come out of my mouth,
Jason Lloyd says, suits look looks a bit small for
a Moose emoji. So I have been called fat on
my own show. Now that's a new one. Five years
(41:03):
of this five years, and that's the first time I've
just been called quite large, which I mean, I can't
say his line, but I have dreams, dag Nabbitt, I
would love sev them jackets shirts.
Speaker 5 (41:21):
He may just want to buy this, or it can
be his inspiration piece. You know, I'm working to get
in this jacket here.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
Depending on how small it is, there might not be
any inspiration that's gonna make that happen. Yeah, oh gosh.
And now Sean's saying that maybe he wants it, and
Todd is telling me he found a new moose Onesie.
We're just gonna strip right through that into Adam's next topic,
which is events.
Speaker 5 (41:48):
All right, So coming up on April nineteenth, I'm calling
this Columbia Confederate History Day.
Speaker 4 (41:56):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (41:56):
We are having a memorial service at Rosehill Cemetery and
that's where our local Confederate monument is in Columbia, Tennessee.
The UDC always has a memorial service there at the
Confederate section in Roach Hill Cemetery. One hundred and twenty
Confederate soldiers buried in this one section. Beautiful Confederate monument
(42:16):
place there by the ud C in the eighteen eighties,
so this was pre ud C actually. So they have
a great speaker lined up this year. This is past
Commander in Chief Jason Bouchiers. He's going to be the
speaker there on the nineteenth at ten am, and we're
(42:37):
trying to get as many people there as we can.
So if you want to come to Columbia, Tennessee, we're
gonna make it worth your while this day. You come
here at ten am, you come to the memorial service.
Then at eleven am, our museum is going to open
and we'll be opening till four pm. So there may
(42:57):
be some food there the UDC ladies have. They're all
good cooks. My wife's one up, so you know they're
good cooks. And now they're gonna have some refreshments there.
And you're welcome to buy a mission to the museum
and visit there from eleven until four and then at
(43:17):
four point thirty we're going back to the cemetery if
you want to join us, and we're having the Confederates
of rose Hill walking to her and we're going to
take you around to some of the Confederate graves and
Rose Hill Cemetery. My wife and I are both local
historians and we'll be leading the tour and we have
a lot of great people there to talk about. Major
(43:39):
Nathaniel Chairs, the man who was forced to go surrender
to us Grant at Fort Donaldson. He's buried there at
rose Hill. Brigadier General.
Speaker 4 (43:52):
I forget who he is.
Speaker 5 (43:55):
Carpenter Carter Carter, excuse me, John c Carter, he's buried
at rose Hill. He was killed at the Battle of Franklin.
Donnington was a captain in the Confederate Navy. There's many
great stories there in rose Hill Cemetery. Over three hundred
and seventy Confederate soldiers in the cemetery, so we have
(44:15):
a lot of people we can talk about, but we're
going to try to keep it to about forty five minutes,
so if not, we could keep you in there all
day long. But if you want to come to that tour,
it is ten dollars per person. The proceeds will benefit
Rose Hill Cemetery. And so this is Confederate History Day
in Columbia, Tennessee. So come and see us on the nineteenth.
(44:38):
I hope you can make it.
Speaker 3 (44:42):
Man, I wish I could get up there. I might
hitch hike so I can get up there, so I
can spend a day. But definitely definitely go up to
HQ that day, everybody, because it's going to be a
big day.
Speaker 5 (44:55):
And if you can't make it, we can see you
on the date of our pilgrimage, or we hope we'll
see there on that date. And that is May third,
so we know that April nineteenth. I believe that's the
day before Easter. So some people may have family commitments
and not able to make it, but this is our
pilgrimage date. It's always the first Saturday in May. This
(45:18):
is our fifth pilgrimage. Believe it or not, we've been
doing this for five years. Time flies when you're having fun, Moose,
So looking forward to seeing everybody. Mister Ron Candy will
be our keynote speaker for that event on the third
of May, and we will be having all the floral
(45:41):
tributes at the Jefferson Davis Monument this year, so we've
come full circle. We've gone to all the other monuments
on the property and we're back at jeff Davis and
really looking forward to that. It's going to be a
busy day. Not only will the pilgrimage be going on,
will also be having Camp twenty nine, which is our
(46:03):
local camp in Columbia. They're hosting a car show on
the property this day, so I hope y'all can come
to that as well. So come for the Confederate Memorial
stay and see the cars. So there'll be a lot
to do, a lot of food trucks. So we're actually
going to have food there on the property this year,
which is big because you know before if you got
(46:26):
a hungry you had to leave, go get lunch, come back.
We'll have lunch there for you that day if you
want to go visit the food trucks.
Speaker 3 (46:34):
I'm not going to lie to you, Adam. I was
coming for the pilgrimage anyway, but I see another reason
why I should come, and we've talked about it before.
The mobile cigar lounge.
Speaker 4 (46:49):
Oh yeah, that's got me excited too.
Speaker 5 (46:52):
If anybody gets looking for me, they'll be saying, hey,
where's that im at.
Speaker 4 (46:55):
You'll see a cloud of smoke over there. Anything you
don't where I'll be at.
Speaker 3 (47:01):
Well, I mean, at least you're honest.
Speaker 4 (47:07):
So it's gonna be a busy day.
Speaker 5 (47:08):
Really looking forward to May third, I think it's going
to be a great day for the Southern Heritage Center.
Any day that we can get people on our property
is a great day. And you know, the car show
brings in people that don't normally come because you know,
people that aren't interested in Confederate history, but hey, they
love cars. Once they come to see the cars, we're
(47:31):
gonna educate them about Confederate history. It's a win win
for We're getting them on our property. And once they're there, hey,
we can teach them a thing or two.
Speaker 3 (47:41):
It's the name of the game. And I think we
have one more event to talk about.
Speaker 5 (47:45):
Yeah, we have one more. I think, well, this goes
along with the pilgrims every year. People like to bring
wreath or other flower arrangements. But if you want to
bring something that you can leave at headquarters and we
can plant. Uh, here's a list of things that we
would like to have on the property. We have of course, gardenias,
(48:08):
cherry trees to it, popular trees, dogwood trees, burn them, jasmine, lilac,
looking for some oak leaf high tranges, rhododendron, and for scythia.
So those are just some selections that you might can
make that would be period correct for planting around Elm
Springs or uh till it. Popular trees are really fast growing,
(48:32):
and we don't have any shade over at the museum,
so we're thinking, uh, find something that's fast growing and
to it. Popular trees are indigenous to this area in Tennessee.
All the floors in Elm Springs were made out of poplar,
So I'd love to see some popular trees back on
(48:52):
the property. They cut them all down when they built
Elm Springs so they could cut the wood up for
the floors. Some suggestions of things you might bring with you.
You don't have to bring anything We just love to
see you, So make plans to attend the pilgrimage on
(49:13):
May third.
Speaker 3 (49:16):
I can't wait. I'll either be there for full of
tributes or other duties. I have to talk to a
certain cee I see about that speaking of officers, looks
like mister Ron Candy switched in from YouTube and Jamie
Graham said, it's good. He's honest.
Speaker 4 (49:40):
Good to see Commander Graham on the chat tonight.
Speaker 3 (49:44):
It's always good to have Commander Graham on. Fun fact,
him and my little brother share the last the same
last name.
Speaker 5 (49:52):
Really, Amander Graham has been a pleasure getting to know
him since he's been on the GC.
Speaker 4 (49:58):
He's a great guy.
Speaker 3 (50:00):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (50:00):
Of course, Ryan Candy's in the chat. He's going to
be our keynote speaker on the third. He says, we
ran out of good speakers. That's why we had him. No,
that's not the case. Everybody loves to hear the Candies.
So looking forward to having him there on the third.
And we're gonna have a great event that day.
Speaker 4 (50:18):
So I don't know. Yeah, we do have a cypress
tree already at On Springs. We have a bond of cypress.
Speaker 3 (50:26):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (50:26):
That is probably one of the biggest trees on our
property is right in front of the house, and I
don't know how it survived all these years, but it has.
I'm not going to ask any questions on that.
Speaker 3 (50:40):
Well. Yeah, and you also have a random magnolia tree.
Let's not forget about the hat. Yeah, yeah, random from
the from the Mississippi Division.
Speaker 4 (50:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (50:51):
And Jamie says that he has us all fooled. Jack Nabbott.
If I knew that you were fully me Commander, I
wouldn't have wouldn't have volunteered to work with you. But uh,
I'm joking. I'm joking, Commander Graham. We'll be scheduling to
get you on soon. We'll be getting all the army
officers on soon. So I can't wait to have him
(51:14):
back on again. I have missed our Commander Graham. Uh.
He was very funny to have on the show. It
was it was chaotic, kind of like me and Adam.
It's it's a training wreck, but you really can't look away.
Speaker 5 (51:27):
Hey, yeah, I thought we've been doing pretty good tonight.
This is we've kind of stayed on track.
Speaker 3 (51:33):
Oh yeah, it's it's really like weird. I don't know
if we've done this in the history of Mark and Home.
We usually go off the rails at some point. Wait, okay,
all right, I got two things. First off, all right,
we have a tree that's won an award. Is that correct?
Speaker 5 (51:52):
Yes, So we have a large red oak is a
schue Marta that's in our backyard at down Springs, and
it is the Tennessee Grand Champion tree. It's the largest
of that variety in Tennessee that we know of until
somebody can find another one bigger, we're the grand Champion.
And then we have another that's been designated as a
(52:13):
historic tree. It's them tree that's in our backyard because
it was a witness tree to the war. It was
standing there during the war between the States. And I'm
sure the su mar red oak was too, as large
as it is, but both of those would have been
witness to the war and the Confederate Calary riding end
(52:35):
to save the day.
Speaker 3 (52:41):
That is just some of the cool history you can
get when you come up to our h Q. And
trust me, if you're there and you can get Adam
to give you a tour, it is the best thing ever.
But he does withhold tours from certain people.
Speaker 4 (52:56):
Yeah. Mayley Moose.
Speaker 3 (53:02):
But I do want to agree with my dad here
real quick with a big thank you to you, Adam
and all who have worked to turn that once empty
museum into a building into a true museum. Not only that,
but all the work y'all do for our headquarters. And
I mean, I know you, Kayla and Eric, everybody there.
(53:24):
I'll forget someone if I try to go through down
the names, but y'all all work your butt off and
we can't thank you enough. And I can't thank you
enough for coming on tonight, even though you have a
super busy month and week.
Speaker 5 (53:36):
That's all right, glad to do it, and thank y'all.
It's been a pleasure. I've enjoyed every minute of it.
Pretty much. The good definitely outweighs the bad. Now you
think about all some of the bad days you have,
but when you have more good days than you do bad,
it makes it.
Speaker 4 (53:52):
All worth it.
Speaker 5 (53:53):
And it's really a pleasure to work for the SCV
and get to work with you, Moose.
Speaker 3 (54:02):
Oh, the pleasure is all mine. Director Southern and very
formal tonight, but it's good to always have you on command,
a Commander Adam. Uh. Probably one of the episodes I
look forward to the most, simply because I do know
(54:22):
at some point it will be a train wreck and
me and Adam will talk about something that has nothing
to do with our wonderful HQ, our museum.
Speaker 4 (54:33):
So we actually had an episode on point tonight.
Speaker 3 (54:35):
So I think we deserve a free cigar when that
cigarrup shows up at the pilgrimage.
Speaker 4 (54:43):
I think so we might be able to work something out.
Speaker 3 (54:45):
I think our Commander Chief, I know he's busy and
he's not watching, so he can't defend himself, but it's
twin brothers watching, he can tell him has to buy
us cigars for steak for doing our job tonight.
Speaker 4 (54:58):
Adam, I'll let you work that one out.
Speaker 3 (55:04):
I don't want to be put on the do not
read state list, but yes, I agree with my father
again and past Commander in Chief Jason Boshears. We have
a fantastic staff at HQ that really works hard, and
I always love going up there to help what little
(55:25):
I can do, whether it's move furniture, get hit with
a corn dog, or help out and move something, or
just help with filing or moving stuff, because y'all do
so much, and I know it's not much, but I
do I do like coming up there to help and
spending time with y'all. So again, thank you for everything
(55:46):
you do, Adam, everybody, and I guess without further ado,
make sure to share this episode out so everybody gets
their update about what's going on at HQ and the
world wonderful stuff that's happening up there, and of course
they get to see the Baseball Hall of Famer Adam Southern.
And make sure to tune in this Thirday Thursday's for
(56:09):
Commander's Comments, where we'll have Commander in Chief Walter D.
Johnny Kennedy on to give an update that what has that,
what the SEV leadership has been doing. I'll get it
out eventually, but it will be at seven pm Confederate
Standard time, same Confederate channel. So make sure I see
(56:30):
you this Thursday. Again. Make sure to tune in tomorrow,
April first, at twelve o'clock on your lunch break if
you have. I didn't even think about that when up
in the episode on there. I should have. I should
have told everybody, but I didn't, and I'm gonna regret
(56:53):
that now. But tune in. We have a video of
Army of Tennessee Commander Carl Jones talking about why the
war fought in a wonderful program to start off April
Confederate History Month. And then every Wednesday, we have a
rerun of some of the best scv chat episodes that
(57:15):
we have again talking about the veterans, bringing honor to
them and what they've went through. Again, that will be happening.
And of course we have a stacked Monday show and
a stacked Tuesday shows this month. So make sure to
keep in touch on SCV chat, on Facebook and Instagram,
(57:36):
and make sure I see you Thursday. So Eric's late. Eric,
I gave you a compliment and I will I will
never do it again. You're gonna have to rewind it
because you were late. But no, no, thank thank you
for showing up.
Speaker 4 (57:52):
Eric.
Speaker 3 (57:52):
We're all late. Sometimes you can rewatch it. I did
say nice things about you for once. You know me,
me and Eric. He's so he bullies me. Let's put
that on there. But uh, if anybody, if anybody's got
anything else to say to Adam, our wonderful executive director,
(58:13):
please thank him again for coming on. And uh, I
guess without further ado, thank you all for tuning in
and remember Chad Heads no far in the elevator. Good night, everybody,
