| A "boating accident," eh? There are those that would disagree with that assessment. |

| Stephen Sears wrote a biography entitled "George MacClellan; the Young Napoleon." It's ok. Sears is a good author. |

| They're a different cup of tea from the one you're reading. "Billy Yank" is written by a Civil War soldier, after the war. and the guy has fun doing it. |

| Looks interesting. I'll keep it in mind . . . Have you ever read "Billy Yank" or "Johnny Reb"? Along the same lines as your book, but more individual, and much more contemporary. |

| Freeman was definitely writing from a southern viewpoint, but he was blinded by always putting the sun in his face. On the other hand, he did entertain a lot of folks, didn't he? |

| My opinion of Wiley Sword couldn't be higher. The man just flat out knows how to write. |

| Newt Gingrich has at least one big advantage over Jeff Shaara: he's a lot better writer. I do not know how much of that is due to Gingrich's co-author, but it's true nonetheless. |

| Along with many others, I'm still waiting for the Shenandoah battles, both 1862 and 1864. Hopefully, the final disk is a Shenandoah disk? |

| Longstreet knew Grant good enough to stand up with him at the latter's wedding. |

| I agree that----of the battles cited----Grant was probably right in where he put censure . . . but i disagree about what you say of Gettysburg. I feel Lee was right in accepting blame for the failure there. |
