Good reading and thanks for the writings. I like the Shelby Foote books about the war and have the PBS Civil War series on my iPad. I've also been to a number of the battlefields and museums and for me it is the most interesting time in our Nation's history.

YW, Litigator. Foote was a great recorder of history as well as historical fiction writer. I like most of the Burns' series, but it didn't give a very even view of servitude, both north and south of the Mason-Dixon line duing the mid-19th century, IMHO. We will have a small group gathering at the 150th anniversary of Kennesaw next June and I will try to attend the Cold Harbor battlefield that month as well. Keep me posted on any events you might make.
