Confederate Dinner Tale From General Lee Tent
A 1864 Civil War anecdote describes General Lee hosting officers in a weathered tent. A servant frets over serving bacon on cabbage as officers politely decline, echoing the era’s paroled hunger and dignity. The tale ends with a quip about Grant knowing Lee’s dinner. Also notes an artesian well strike in Chamberlain South Dakota and a seminary principal’s concerns.
