More the human angle than a military study, but interesting nonetheless.

An endlessly fascinating subject for me ...

I have always sympathized with both sides; the soldiers I mean. But the Union generals who used a scorched earth policy on the South, which included murdering innocent women and children, I have no sympathy or time for. Hopefully their maker dealt with them in a just way when they left this world.
