Blurb for DYK[edit]

Did You Know

...foot calvary was an term of contradictory words combined to describe the rapid movement of infantry troops of General Stonewall Jackson during the American Civil War?

Calvary?[edit]

Hlj moved this from foot calvary to foot cavalry, as cavalry is dudes on horses but calvary is a hill near Jerusalem. Unless this is some weird archaic spelling, I guess the DYK entry should also be fixed. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 11:38, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Rockfish Gap and Blue Ridge Tunnel[edit]

Why are these in the See also? I'm sure that it was because Jackson used them, but neither article mentions it. --Habap 15:56, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I added some sources, but this article needs to be polished, I do not have the ability to do so. but I do know that the information in here is accurate. -Robert Short,Sr. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.248.244.2 (talk) 05:56, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
