I just started this book tonight. Author's name is James M. McPherson. At 904 pages, it certainly is a tome. I don't know that it's fair to call it, 'long and drawn out,' though. Shelby Foote's,
The Civil War: A Narrative is 2,968 pages! Now
that one's going to require a few more cigars! Coronas gigantes or similar!
Battle Cry of Freedom won McPherson a Pulitzer Prize in 1989 so I'm expecting it to be amaaazing. What did you think of it, Scott?
