Summer Reading

[matthew mckeon]

Summer is coming, and its time to dig into the stack of books. My choices:

The Hard Hand of War by Mark Grimsley

1861 by Adam Goodheart

Joseph Harsh's trilogy about the Antietam Campaign: already read the first volume.

Any suggestions?

I am currently reading, "The Generals" by Nancy Scott Anderson and Dwight Anderson.

The course of much of my summer reading is already set. I'm in the middle of Grand Design by Donald Stoker. After that I'll be reading the first two volumes of Confederate generals in the west, edited Larry Lee Hewitt and the late Art Bergeron. Then there will be a book about Jubal Early's 1864 campaign in the Valley, and finally a book about Jo Shelby.

 

[The Iron Duke]

I intend to read William Garrett Piston's Wilson's Creek: The Second Battle of the Civil War and the Men Who Fought it for the 150th anniversary of the battle. His book on Longstreet, Lee's Tarnished Lieutenant, is an excellent work.

Somebody on this forum recently mentioned a paperback book that gave eyewitness accounts of the battle of Franklin. I cannot remember the title of the book. Can anybody help me out?
