The Civil War, A Narrative, Fort Sumter to Perryville by Shelby Foote. I'm about 1/8 of the way thru the first book of 3. The first book is 810 pages... it might be a while before I get to book 2.

They must have changed the instrument rating book... I liked it better than the PP.

Exactly... Still... If Shelby were still alive I would call him up and tell him to break it up into smaller chapters so I could feel like I was getting somewhere.

The Civil War was not what people think it is (for the most part) and it is definitely not what they taught in school... not even close.
