This sounds fascinating, and I’ll keep it in mind for the US Civil War Challenge. I will link to your review on War Through the Generations.

There was a time when I really loved Civil War stories. After moving to Atlanta, after college, I sort of maxed out on them. This looks interesting, though, perhaps to save for a day when I’m less civiled out. ;O)

It’s been so long since I had history, I can’t tell you what I learned about the Civil War. Somehow, I don’t think this book is for me.

I always admire those who can and do read history books. They sometimes can be very dry for me, and though I really, really want to be able to tackle something like this, I know that I probably won’t because the material is just so demanding. Kudos to you for reading it, and writing such a great review on it. I am glad you enjoyed it!
