I have printed it and will put in my copy of "Killer Angels" in case I want to know later what it was all about.
Shadow, if you read this, could you please prepare something similar for Appomattox in 2015? I'm already looking forward to that!
 
Thanks everybody! I'm working on the Union side- got day 1 about finished. Now that Halloween's over, I can go back to the CW humor blog.

appomattox could be fun, have to think about that one. It's easier when there's source material everyone can relate to...

I've found it really amusing how the personalities start to develop a direction of their own as I text- the narrative shapes itself as I imagine how this guys felt about each other, the little jealousies, the petty gripes, etc. Stuff that comes out with any tight-knit group when it's put under pressure.
 
appomattox could be fun, have to think about that one. It's easier when there's source material everyone can relate to...

You could make reading "Passing of the armies" by Chamberlain mandatory for us all!

Once again: great stuff! Have just read it again (3rd time), laughed till I cried. I wish I could share it with somebody here at home, it's so funny. Applause, Applause!!!
