To cure double chins in early England, beauty parlors would haul a woman into the air by a strap beneath her jaw. Roger Atkinson Pryor of Petersburg, Virginia, was made an offer that few men would have had the courage to refuse. He was offered an appointment as a brigadier general in the Confederate Army by General Joseph E. Johnston. But he politely yet firmly refused, stating that the Army had too many generals as it is. Its real need is more private soldiers. Pryor served as a buck private throughout the Civil War. Believe It or Not!
