love for the civil war began in grammar school and continues on to the
present."
Jerome has been re-creating the character of General George H. Thomas
for twenty years and makes between 35 and 40 appearances a year. in the
past twelve months he has spoken to over 25,000 children and adults on civil
war.
Major General George Henry
Thomas was born in Virginia, but during the Civil War, remained faithful to the
oath that he took as a cadet at The United States Military Academy at West
Point. There he pledged his allegiance to the Constitution of the
U.S. (not the flag that our children pledge their allegiance to at school in
the morning). He promised to defend and protect it against all foes
foreign and domestic. When Virginia left the Union three days after the
bombardment of Fort Sumter - George Henry Thomas remained faithful to that oath
he took years before.
