Book Launch

OK, finished up to the beginning of the chapter "1863."

I am not quite sure what I expected from the book, I have read many compilations of letter and/or diaries from US history, covering especially the days of fur traders, the westering frontier, and Revolutionary and Civil Wars.

What I have read so far is interesting. I am fairly conversant with much of Civil War history, being sort of nerd-ish on the topic, but it is great what you do in the footnotes to give background info on certain things/people, especially helpful for those who do not know all those details. I also appreciated the Introduction.

Peace of the Lord be with you.
