I just finished updating my reference list. These are all books that I keep close to hand. Some are considerably better or more detailed than others. Th}e Campaigns of the Civil War series are a wonderful series, though not all well written they are a wonderful resource. I've only been able to pick up a few as they aren't always readily available at my local half price books. I'm beginning to dislike much of what I get from Osprey; some of their research is suspect and their conclusions sometimes a bit biased.

Few take the trouble to understand or to view the American scene with perspective. And we Americans love to find ourselves guilty of something.

It is always ourselves or our fancied influence in other countries. Louis L'amour |
