By the way, some of the best reading I've come across lately is right here on this discussion board. You guys are good — smart, witty, helpful, insightful, and just loopy enough to keep me coming back for more.


Well yeah , that would be us.  If I want to know about the soldier or weapons I will ask Johan or Steve Cone,  If I want to know battles or other information I will Ask Dave White, or Ole.  Gettysburg  I ask Basecat .   Shiloh or Corinth I ask Calcav.   That's just off the top of my head. Doc Fuller, Cleburne fan  Joanie all are so well read and know so much about different aspects of the war.  I know if I have a question that I can't find myself or can't get one of my round table friends here at home to answer  I can count on all of the people here. 

Joe did a wonderful service when he created and continueds to maintain this website.

(okay all you guys can pay me now)

 


Susan, if you have to choose between any Time Life books go for the "Echoes of Glory" set or whatever volume is available as there are none better.  They set the benchmark IMO.

Susan, you are a sweet (note how I got the last half of your screen name in), lovely grand lady of exceptional taste and charm w/ a bit of the muse in your literary writing.  Where I not a happily married man I would court you in a most historically (CW era) accurate fashion.  OK, payment made.  :D
