I'll have to get it.

I did get a biography on Jackson. (Next on my reading list) I'm finishing reading the Shaara trilogy. And I just got Foote's Volume 1 on the Civil War. watched Gettysburg a couple of weeks ago and was moved by the bravery of Pickett's charge. What men were these!

In fact, I plan to go to Gettysburg next year for the battle re-enactments.

What does Newt have to say about the "battle?"

Newt's "what if" is Longstreet convincing Lee that Gettysburg is not good ground after the first day. Unless you want me to provide spoilers, I will say no more...

See my 'about' page - I am a reenactor.

There is one more good size event this season, the Battle of Cedar Creek in Middletown, Virginia (just south of Winchester) My battery will be there.
