>>Is Capt. Basil Gildersleeve the same Gildersleeve
>>of world-famous reknown?
And this thread has got me to wondering if Capt. Gildersleeve might also
be the historical person that Larry MacMurtrey had in mind when he
created the character of the 1st captain in the Texas Rangers in
Commanche Moon, who later went on to distinguish himself in the Civil
War in that novel. [He was the one carving Homer in Greek on a rock
face to keep himself sane in tortuous captivity by a notorious
Commanche, noted some months back by Carl Conrad.]
