What I have read so far is interesting. I am fairly conversant with much of Civil War history, being sort of nerd-ish on the topic, but it is great what you do in the footnotes to give background info on certain things/people, especially helpful for those who do not know all those details. I also appreciated the Introduction.
Peace of the Lord be with you.

Thanks Todd, hopefully you get bookplate in one piece and not bent, I tried to protect it as best I could.
