I'd loan you mine but I'm still reading it. Pretty complicated pictures. I showed it to Stoops but his lips kept moving but he wasn't making any progress. Sure; I got books. I've even read all of them. Here are some of my favorites. I'm re-doing my office so most of the stuff is stored elsewhere while I make room for the contents of Stoops liquor cabinet  Edited by Doc Gardner 2009-05-21 5:37 PM (Military books.jpg) Attachments ---------------- Military books.jpg (84KB - 499 downloads) | ||

| Subject: RE: Santa Claus just keeps showing up at my house Years ago I read Micheal Sharra's "Killer Angels" about the battle at Gettysburg. Then I read "Lee's Lieutenants" and "R.E. Lee" by Douglas Southhall Freeman and "The Civil War" by Shelby Foote. All excellant books. Freeman was definately pro South but he was an excellant writer. Foote's book is the most inclusive work regarding the Civil War that I've read. He passed away a few years ago. He is seen as a commentator in the documentary "Civil War" by Ken Burns. The Burn's documentary is seen frequently on PBS, but it is not all inclusive. It doesn't cover the was in the Western States or Indian Territory | |||

I've not had much luck finding a history of their outfit beyond a rather extensive list of the places they fought. | ||
