Hi My name is Kent. I'm from Canada, and have been interested in the Civil War since about 1987. I came on here originally to see what people thought about the History Channel TV program "Sherman's March", which I haven't seen since we don't receive History Channel here. Anyways I look forward to being here.
Welcome. I see you're forum shopping. You'll find this one well worth your attention.

Kent, I was travelling in Virginia at the time so it's one of those rare occasions that I'll watch The History Channel (I don't have cable at home). I thought the show was OK and I was glad to see the producers/writers use Theodore Upson's book as a resource. I wish they introduced some other soldiers (both North & South) but I suppose there is a time limit. Welcome to this site too.
Hi Kent: Welcome to the board to you, one of our northern neighbors. We used to have a young lady from up yonder who would wade in with both feet in defense of the Confederacy, named Dawna. Haven't seen her for a while. She was quite eloquent, polite, non-inflammatory, and humorous too. Good to have you with us. Hope you like it here. Looking forward to your posts.

Looking forward to seeing you getting involved with our numerous threads and forums on the war.
Pick a topic and dive right in!
Sincerely,
