#6  Yes, I certainly agree Ship. I only wish American historian and novelist Shelby Foote were alive today to read it. He was one of my favorites.

#5  Hell of a read Besoeker, I recommend.

Bruce Catton in his epic centennial history of the Army of the Potomac notes that the Army of the Potomac had faith in only one General and that General was Lee.

I contend that Bobby Lee from the 7 Days until the very end of the Overland Campaign was absolutely living inside the Union OODA Loop.
