[Non-Sequitur]

Maybe I should start building myself a library of Civil War history books...

It might help. I could recommend some but most of ones I read don't have a lot of pictures in them.

Oh, wait - I ALREADY have a huge library of Civil War history books, and don't need much instruction on the Civil War from a guy who's shown that he's willing to twist facts and numbers to make a point.

Let me guess. All the DiLorenzo books. All the Kennedy Boys. A Politically Incorrect Guide to the Civil War. Some Charles Adams. And printouts from all the Southron fanatic websites. That about sum up your library?

[an amused spectator]

Never heard of one of those titles. My first Civil War books when I was in my early teens were the Bruce Catton series. My father took the entire family to many Civil War battlefields. I still have a box of those thick Park Service booklets that they used to give out at the visitor centers.

BTW, we went SOUTH to visit those battlefields.

I'm actually a Union boy.

I just don't like Alinskyites like yourself who smear the honorable dead of either side.
