Well, I'll take a break now from Will's Civil War narrative, and suggest some reading, some books about the War, its soldiers and the people of both camps. This is not light Holiday reading to be sure. Perhaps make it a New Year's resolution to read a couple of them this coming year.
So here goes...
Battle-Pieces and Aspects of the War, Civil War Poems, Herman Melville.
Jefferson Davis's Generals, Gabor S. Boritt, Ed.
Confederates in the Attic, Tony Horwitz.
Personal Memoirs of U.S. Grant, E.B. Long, Ed.
Sword Over Richand, Richard Wheeler.
The Civil War, Witness to War, Harold Holzer.
Tennessee's Civil War Battlefields, Randy Bishop.
The Civil War Battlefield Guide, Frances H. Kennedy, Ed.
The Timechart History of the Civil War, James Arnold & Roberta Wiener, Eds.
The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Civil War, H.W. Crocker III.
The Civil War, Shelby Foote.
So go forth and read! And tell me what your favorite US Civil War book is.
