At present, I am reading.....Extraordinary Circumstances: the Seven Days Battles.
Rebel Private Front and Rear, and Generals in Blue and Grey Volume 1 Blue.
I started all this with Extraordinary Circumstances, it was and so far is a Good read, but I Got distracted by my Libraries Renewal policy(no more then 1 renewal, so can have the book for no more then 4 straight weeks, and then you have to wait 24 hours before you can check it out again)so in the interim I picked up Rebel Private and Generals, I've been devoting most of my time to Generals....it's an interesting book as well.....I'm trying to get a hold of Co. Aytch. but my local library has withdrawn it, and they're supposed to be looking for it for me, so I can buy it from them, and the next closest Library has a New Copy on Order...

" At the end of forty-three minutes of a desperate and unequal contest, I found the enemy completely around my flanks. To prevent a useless destruction of life, or entire capture of my regiment, I gave the order to retire. I was Honored to be forced to repeat it, and even then the brave fellow complied reluctantly -- many refused" -- Colonel Bernard Mullen, commanding 35th Indiana Infantry, 1st Irish....Report of the Actions of the 35th on the Last Day at Stone's River
