Hello, Jimmy,

Thank you so much for bringing the book to my attention. My goodness, I had forgotten about it. A dear friend of mine gave it to me some years back and I found it most illuminating. I have no idea what I did with it, though.

My friend, by the way, is a Civil War "Re-enactor," a rifleman with the Sixth Wisconsin Volunteers. During the Civil War, this group was part of the Iron Brigade, which, my friend tells me, had a highest casualty rate of the war.

The Civil War, the last of the Napoleonic-style wars, is fascinating, though bloody and sad.

Thanks again, Jimmy, for taking the time. Stay well.

Regards,

Obie
