This is a neat thread topic, but Stephen Ambrose's work has been called into question and specifically, his work on the Transcontinental Railroad. I would tread with caution here.
 
Based on the thread in the Naval War (https://civilwartalk.com/threads/knowledge-of-the-naval-war.77727/ ), thought I'd start a similar repository for interests and reference works.

Great idea, sir. Thank you for doing this. I remember doing it on the Naval Forum when I first joined then thinking later - after taking part and reading many threads - than perhaps I didn't know as much as I thought I did...

On your poll, you're only allowed to pick one?

Elaborate, with links. That right there is what this thread is meant to address.
