I’m currently reading Battle Cry  of Freedom (James McPherson) and am hungry for new(er) things to see. Dr. Elizabeth Samet who wrote the annotated Memoirs of U.S. Grant was one of the people they showed in the previews. I have read Grants memoirs and her annotated version of the same. The book is even more excellent with the annotations than the original is. And I thought the original was outstanding.

It is a 3 day mini-series and one can only do so much in three days. I’m still looking forward to it.

Cheers John nice to chat with you again.

Vicksburg, it is an amazing and we’ll documented site. We were there for two days and that was still not enough time. At least for me it was not. My wife and I will certainly be going back there again. Amazing, simply amazing.

Testing, testing. Is this thing on?

congrats on the new digs!
