I write for work and pleasure all the time. I though about my many years studying the Civil War and my time as a #5 man on a 12 lb Napoleon at a re-enactment at Perryville, KY. I wondered how the rest of the war would have gone and would I have gone west? The rest is in my CAS profile.

Stole mine from a Navy Fighter squadron.  Here is from my profile:

A down on his luck ex Union Soldier who apparently has lots of bad flashbacks. Drinks too much, can't shoot worth a d_amn but has a good time. Is loyal to his friends to a fault.

But really how I got my alias is from my time in the Navy. I flew A-6 Intruders and so was an Attack guy (dropping bombs, etc) but I always liked the nickname of the Fighter Squadron VF-143. They were the "World Famous Pukin' Dogs" Sometime during the Vietnam war they had a new squadron patch made and it had a Medieval "Griffin" on it. One of the pilot's wives said "That looks like a puking dog!" and of course the name stuck. The Secretary of the Navy tried to get them to change it but the boys dug in their heels and vowed always to call themselves the "Pukin' Dogs" It was my great pleasure as an Attack guy to "steal" a Fighter squadrons nickname as my alias for SASS!!

I work for the Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection (DHS - CBP).  I was stationed in a dirty little border town here in San Diego called San Ysidro.  I have called it San Yskidrow for as long as I can remember (I grew up in San Diego).  It just hit me one day to choose San Yskidrow Belle.

My initials are R D, my father's middle name was Henry.

The fact that my main match rifle is a Henry really has nothing to do with it!   ::)

She really is, you know.  Annie is.  What she said.

Got mine from a guy in high school.  Don't remember why he started calling me Forty Rod, but when it came time to pick an alias, there it was.
People like me are the reason people like you have the right to bitch about people like me.

My maternal great grandfather and his father served in Company "B", Frontier Forces, the Texas Ranger oraganization that immediately preceded the Frontier Battalion.  The younger was a 17-year old private, and the elder was the medical officer, with the rank of captain.  Would have liked to have adopted one of their personas, but one was too young (or I was too old), and the other was a doctor, so neither seemed to be what I was looking for.  Captain A. H. (Hamp) Cox, the commander of the unit,  was a name connected to our family, so I went with that.  Still have not been able to determine exactly what the initials "A. H." stand for, but assume the "Hamp" was short for Hampton.

I used a shotgun to end a few train robberies on the Missouri Pacific Railway.  I killed some highway men robbing and stealing from the railroad and the railroad's passengers.  17 in All.  There were all kinds of cutthroats theieves and bandits ridin the rails after the war.  I dealt with 'em pretty high-handedly!  I'd club 'em with the buttend of my mule-earred double if I could, but if I had to go to my .44's, my plan was to Shoot First!  Shoot Fast!  Shoot Often!  Shoot Most! and Shoot Last!

They called me Ozark Iron John.  It stuck!

BOOM! CLANG! times TEN.

It's my real name. AnnieLee Independant and Calamity Jane were already taken. By the way, Arcey told me to add that last sentence.

I cook, I cook very good, very period.  The Delmonico family had what was the finest eatin' house in the US in New York City from about 1840 to 1920.  In Gunsmoke the cafe was Delmonico's.  George Pullman named the first dining car Delmonico.  I know how to make a real Delmonico Steak.  What can I say more.

My pardner is Gopher Grease, you'll have to ask him.  One day at Rock Creek Station Nebraska Territory (Yes the real one of Wild Bill fame) he was shot in the back with a load of buckshot and injured his knee.  (Filmed by the local PBS station, I have a copy ;D)  Well they sent him to the cook camp and I got him ice out of the ice box.  He now cooks and gets shot.  I get shot for him when he's real busy with a fancy dessert, he dies much better than I do.

Go for Utah Carol, but that song dates to the 1920's at least.  Marty did a good cover thoug.  I believe Carl Spregue had the first recording.

I wanted to get something Indian in my alias.  Tried Navajo Kid - Taken.  Tried Cherokee kid - Taken.  Tried Nez Pierce Kid - Taken.  Tried Apache Kid - Taken.  Tried Modoc Kid - Taken.  Tried Mandan Kid - Taken.  Tried Seminole Kid - Taken.  I was about ready to give up!  Tried Mohawk Kid - Taken.  Tried Mescalero Kid - Taken.  Gave up!

Looked up several tribes.  Found Arapaho.  Tried Arapaho Kid.  BINGO!
