That sounds fascinating. Adding it to my list.

Currently reading Bruce Catton's The Army of the Potomac trilogy. The beautiful Library of America edition. I'm such a sucker for those books.

He’s a wonderful writer! When I encountered him, I didn’t know history could be written that way & it really opened my eyes.

I agree. It's such an engaging read, and so many interesting, humanizing details about the people. And such a cutting wit when he talks about McClellan's many flaws.
