Stan said that while shooting a scene, he was supposed to receive a green sleeve to cover one of his arms so that the crew could use special effects to show he had lost the arm in the fall that would tease his return in a "Captain America" sequel, as The Winter Soldier is known for having a metal arm. In that movie, The Winter Soldier - known as Bucky at that point in the story - seemed to fall to his death after Captain America failed to save him. In the Vanity Fair video, Stan said he didn't think his character was going to survive past his first appearance in "Captain America: The First Avenger," in 2011. Last month, Stan said in an interview with the entertainment reporter Jake Hamilton that he hadn't seen "Spider-Man: No Way Home" because he didn't "like to support Tom Holland." Other than for these two things, the article was a great read.In the past, Stan and Holland have used promotion tours to mock each other. This visit inspired the rumors of Paul Morphy's involvement in the Confederacy. ![]() Morphy was, however in Richmond in Octber of 1861, just a few months after the battle that claimed Cheney's life. PGT Beauregard was indeed a family friend of the Morphys, but there is nothing to indicate Paul ever served the Confederacy in any capacity and every reason to believe he didn't. Beauregard, leading what was known at the time as the Army of the Potomac, was a family friend of Morphy’s, and according to one account of the battle, published online in 2011, Morphy “served as a volunteer aid to Beauregard (even gathering intelligence for the Confederates during the First Battle of Manassas).” It is possible that Cheney’s former chess opponent, have somehow been involved in that same deadly prelude to First Manassas. Another sentence in the article concerned me. I'm mentioned in the article as a "modern expert." I'm not, but I imagine it was to give the article more credence. Her article was just published in the July 2016 issue the "America's Civil War" magazine, pp.36-9. She was interested in learning about the chess aspect of Cheney's life.Īfter writing her article, it took a time to find a publisher and more time to meet that publisher's specifications. Harris is a freelance writer who was looking for information about George Nelson Cheney, a chess prodigy just two months older than Paul Morphy, who died during the battle of First Manassas in the American Civil War only 2 months after enlisting with the 12th New York Infantry. About 5 years ago I met a woman named Susan Harris. ![]()
