This is a book on Santos Benavides. Not sure how to link but you can preview the book. Chapter IX tells a story about Benavides and Sul Ross. Benavides evidently wrote a letter to the president of Mexico vouching for Ross and calling him an "intimate friend."

Hispanics in the Civil War

I knew about David Farragut but not most the others. Fascinating.

He had an elementary school named after him. Guess that will be changing soon!

I bet the dodge ball games at those reunions last for hours.
You are on fire tonight.


I kid, I kid. It comes from a place of love though. I would give anything to be back to the days where the internet was used for light joking about the athletic skills of guys who are infinitely more talented than any of us will ever be.

I actually like Kellen as a QB and will be rooting for nothing but the best for him if we ever play football again. Also, I've said before that although I may not agree with Kellen's views on Sul Ross, I respect his right to be wrong in his opinion. I know he has been misled by people with an agenda.

The world we live in now with the internet being used the way it is to gin up outrage, to purposely mid-inform, and to ruin people's lives just infuriates me to no end. I'm just old I guess.

Seriously, very cool family history. Mond should be proud of his ancestors. I hope it's a humbling learning experience for him and gives him a clearer lens through which to understand and appreciate other historical figures.

I'm going to keep this thread open but will be calling a tight strike zone. There is no reason to be disparaging of Kellen. Most have refrained (and that's appreciated) but some have taken some shots. Thanks.

I couldn't agree more. There needs to be much more grace and humility from all people today. I have a feeling he is learning a valuable lesson, and I, too, wish him all the best in the upcoming season and the rest of his future.

The hoaxsters are a different matter. They need to be gone.

Hey Redpot, for the record, I didn't write that post. I simply quoted because I agreed as did the others who starred. For an expert historian get your facts straight. I also don't stalk you on twitter and only became aware of my UN in your tweet by a fellow Ag.

Sorry Brandon, I was probably responsible for one or two of those shots. Totally understand if you need to remove em. I think I explained myself above, I have 0 ill will towards Kellen.

It seems to be happening faster than the medical people said it would, but they don't know me. Besides, I couldn't think of staying off of Forum 16 for four weeks.

Many thanks.

Since rocky came back, the hoax was exposed worldwide and Mond turned out to be protesting his great grandfather's close friend.

Truly, F16's spirit animal.

Notice the eye discipline. Stairs? Full roll? Fullback cutting the knees? Doesn't matter. Watching your assignment is key, and this little dude gets it.
