Much debate, but seems now more fact that Crockett indeed was taken captive after the batte, tortured and killed.

For you civil war fans, this should be an easy "who said it."

Now, here's one. "Say to General Hancock for me, that I have done him, and you all, a grievous injury, which I shall regret the longest day I live."

Allegedly, just so. There's been some historical dispute over Armistead's last words; some measure of 'idolization' of him has occurred in the last twenty years or so, certainly since Michael Shaara's Killer Angels, and the portrayal of GEN Armistead by Richard Jordan in the movie Gettysburg, which was based on Shaara's book.

Still and all, a brave man in a troubled time.

I remember from Gettysburg that he and Hancock were good friends, so it was a pretty easy guess, but guess nevertheless

soooo.... what do I win

Pulled off some random web sites, so no idea as to accuracy:

I've just had eighteen straight whiskies, I think that's the record.
- Dylan Thomas

I should never have switched from Scotch to Martinis.
- Humphrey Bogart

Either that wallpaper goes, or I do.
- Oscar Wilde

And then I ran into this:

Canonical List of Famous Last Words
Quote:

(roleplaying : fantasy and sf)

Hundreds of brave characters lost their lives during thousands of roleplaying sessions leaving us their last words. We'll never forget them. Rest in peace.
Some of my favorites from there:

"I drink the bottle marked POISON on the off-chance that it's the extra-healing potion."

"I bet without Mjolnir you're a real wuss."

"Bob, you have any grenades left? Throw me one..."

"Hey, the pyramid's glowing. I didn't think it could do that."

"Cool! Crocodiles!"

"If you were as smart as you think you are, you wouldn't be a cop."

"What do you mean 'It's ticking'?"

"I'll distract the dragon!"

"Damn, it's getting hot in here. By the way, what's that smell?"

"Well, what little damage can be done with a Katana..."

"Geez... that guy looks mad now. Can I un-cast that fireball?"

"Ohh never mind that, that's just a rabbit."

I am about to — or I am going to — die: either expression is correct. Said by: Dominique Bouhours, famous French grammarian


Ya gotta respect a guy who is willing to be a pompous bombastic know-it all jerk at the very end.
