Default Greetings from the latest newbie.

Hello the camp.

I am one of those history nuts that keeps having a thread of research weave in and out of various eras. Hopefully I can have my questions about this era answered here, or have a little friendly push in the correct direction!

Doc,

Welcome to the site. The people here have a plethora (I love using that word) of knowledge and expertise. When it comes to information about the Civil War...we're full of it. A big Huzzah from the Republic of Wisconsin
