<SIGH> I really tried to delete all of the civil war posts before he saw

Not only does Thorbjorn have his master' s in military history/American
Civil War, but it's one of his overwhelming passions as well (we're in
the SCA instead of the civil war re-enactors is because I wanted to do
things as well (besides cook for the boys and pose in hoop skirts) and
the local re-enactors are snobs of the first degree).
