Threads are easy to start. I've done 477. I think my 500th thread will be a virtual party, just because.
I've done a lot of studying about those guys you are talking about...There was a time I wanted to write about McClellan and the Pennisular campaign, but I couldn't figure what I wanted to say except that if McClellan had been as good at combat generalling as he was in organizational and administrative generalling, the war might have ended much sooner.
But that was so obvious, I never went back, cause I really don't like what ifs in past history. It was Lee's chance to shine and he did. And so the war lasted longer, my gggrandfather ended up getting captured in the cumberland gap and spending a large part of the war in Camp Douglas and then Point Lookout, and because of that fact, I met my hubby because his gggrandfather was in Point Lookout as well.
Hmmm...ot again....
