I read this morning where a British observer was reviewing The Army of Northern Virginia with Lee, and when the Texas Brigade had past, the British Colonel noticed the raggedness of the backs of the Texans' "uniforms". Lee responded: "Maybe so, Colonel, but the enemy never sees the backs of my Texans."
