Oh dear..........sorry to say, "THE LIFE OF JOHNNY REB" was not to my liking and I only read it because my daughter was forced to read it in the 7th or 8th grade ( she didn't like it either ) and I ALWAYS read the books assigned to her, so that we could talk about them.
But thanks for the suggestions; I appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Well, to each his own (as the lady said when she kissed the cow.)
There are periods of history I don't care for . . . treating the 60s as "history" bothers me of course! < g >
