I'm told a grandfather was a railroad engineer for Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show in it's closing years. Sincerely, Lt Dwight McBride 1st Brigade ("The Regular... |

I know what mirror matches are, and that they can be either simultaneous or consecutive, but what I'd like to know is what the advantages or pre... |

I have hundreds of volumes on the Civil War, by dozens of authors from the noted to the amateur . . . and my favorite has been and always will be Bruce Catton. For me at least, he has the turn of phrase, the mind's eye of the written word, that let's me see and feel, sometimes it seems even to <i>kn... |

An interesting question about who would have stepped in for Lee . . . Of course, prior to his wounding, it would have been Longstreet . . . Other than that, A.P.Hill was too sickly.
