Currently reading the first book in post #533.
When finished will go on to the third book in post #535, before circling back to that first book by diloronzo.
Very interesting material, much more than I’d realized.
One interesting thread that I bookmarked dealt with suggestions for books focusing on the Civil War: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2036596/posts
It got sidetracked as these threads often do but it contains a bunch of references to book titles. I added quite a few to my collection based on the recommendations.
