Welcome to this forum and we look forward to your posts. I also enjoy the West but the vast majority of my readings concern Virginia. It's what I find in the used book market.
Hey Don, welcome to the board. You've already posted up some very interesting material. Good to have you, and looking forward to more posts from you.

Union Ancersor: Pvt Arnuah Norton, 60th Ohio. (G-G-G Grandfather) Died at Salisbury NC, November 3, 1864
Confederate Ancestors: Captain Thomas A. Morrow, 29th Texas Cavalry (G-G-G- Uncle) and 2LT George W. Morrow, 31st Texas Cavalry (G-G-G Grandfather). Both survived the war
Am primarily interested in the Civil War in the West, and General George H. Thomas.

Well, Don, I'm sure you'll find no shortage of opinions and "wisdom" on the subject of Gen Thomas' skills. :) Truly, there are many extremely knowledgeable people here. Glad to have you joining us.

Welcome. Looking forward to hearing what you have to say about Thomas as it should be an interesting viewpoint. A Southerner who fought for the North! Please begin a thread with this in mind. Should be a good one.
Sincerely,
