Todd,

I'll look into the other books you mentioned. It's said that sociology is more an art than a science and Webb's book is highly sociological.

I know that there were kilted members of Washington's Army but I can't find the source to save my life. I had done some research trying to find proof that we are actually healthier wearing kilts when I came across a quote from a letter to Washington seeking permission to wear 'the garb of our forefathers' rather than the normal trousers. It was noted that the 'kilted' soldiers did indeed fare better during the harsh winter than trousered soldiers. Exactly who these men were was not mentioned.

Anyway, I'll keep trying to find that quote.

My main point, though, stand as written.

Thanks,

Chris
