Well at least there is one piece of Presidential correspondence Sandy Burgler didn't’t liberate.

I’ve been watching Ken Burns’ Civil War recently. The parallels between Lincoln/civil war and Bush/wot are noticeable. Very unpopular presidents but both sticking to their guns. The inabilty to finish off the enemy due to political concerns, etc.

Doesn’t say to whom the original note was addressed, but I assume it was MG Halleck.

Meade’s reluctance paled in comparison to McClellan’s ineptitude at Antietam.

Meade wasn’t the guy to go after Lee.

That darn Joshua Chamberlain and the 20th Maine changed the course of history by narrowly defeating the rebels on little round top...if not for that, the South could have gone on to win the whole shootin’ match...and maybe remnants of our long since deceased Constitution would still remain. Before then, people said the United States are...now they say The United States is...

Incredible, and I just finished reading a book on Lincoln called "Lincoln" by David Herbert Donald, one of the best bios of the man I ever read. I won`t ruin it by going into detail, but the description of Lincolns early years was incredible, I must have went through that part 15 times.
By the way, anyone ever see this colorization? Don`t know who did it, but damn, this has to be one of the best colorizations I`ve ever seen of any B&W photo out there. It must have taken this guy ages to do this...

Though Gen. George Meade led the Northern troops in the battle at Gettysburg that marked the turning point of the war, he has always been faulted for not closing in and destroying Lee's army.
