A Southern editor wished to compliment Confederate General Pillow and wrote a notice in which the general was referred to as “battle-scarred hero.” Due to a typographical flub the phrase was printed as “battle-scared hero.” The irate soldier demanded a correction, to which the editor agreed. The next day’s paper spoke of the general as a “bottle-scarred hero.” It is not believed any further correction was requested.
