It's the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. Time for commemoration and reflection. Events, lectures and books abound. Even local media is joining in. These posts will be on all of the above and anything else Civil War we come across. A herculean effort will be made to remain non partisan as Johnny Reb and Billy Yank were more alike than not.

So many books, so little time...
Almost finished Freehling's first volume of "Disunion". As soon as I finish it, I'm going to start " The Memoirs of Henry Heth"; edited by James L. Morrison. It was a Father's day gift and greatly appreciated.Heth has always been held responsible for starting the battle of Gettysburg though recently I have read that it was Hill who should shoulder responsibility. Either way, I'm looking forward to what appears to be a great read.
