btw, I have read and studied about the Civil War since High School, focused on it as a History Major in undergrad school, lived for seven years near the Pea Ridge Battlefield in Arkansas and have visited several other sites including a recent visit to Vicksburg, which is incredible. Vicksburg is probably the most accurate Civil War Battlefield in America BECAUSE they had veterans still living help them lay out the troop placements, etc. Haven't made it to Gettysburg yet, but its on my bucket list. On top of this I am a descendant of Maj. General George E. Pickett, so I was "interested" with his depiction in the book "Killer Angels." His bitterness about the last charge is accurate.
