McClellan was a good planner but not greatest field general. He was more interested in not losing a battle than in winning one. <br />That said, Lincoln should have either supported him 100% or fired him and gotten somebody else he could support.<br /><br />As for Jackson's bad rcoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17102201338319611538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10471708.post-70108291173530335542012-03-15T13:19:00.205-07:002012-03-15T13:19:00.205-07:00Rcocean,

I'm not a fan of the Sears disdain for McClellan myself.<br /><br />I'll have to check this book out. I just read Hess' book on entrenching the East recently. It is interesting and informative.Lylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09082051710068390275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10471708.post-64638744786887516852011-07-09T15:58:47.767-07:002011-07-09T15:58:47.767-07:00It's like crack alright.

I just downloaded all the Matthew Scudder mysteries and the Harrison Civil War Trilogy and preordered the new novel in the Game of Thrones series.<br /><br />I am gonna have to sell a lot of bras to pay for all that stuff.Trooper Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978703998566102194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10471708.post-14205920499860857392011-07-07T19:32:58.198-07:002011-07-07T19:32:58.198-07:00Thanks for the comments Trooper.

If I don't watch myself, I'll read books 24/7 and lose myself in a fantasy world, like Burgess Meredith in the Twilight Zone.<br /><br />Kindle seems like Crack for Bookworms.rcoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17102201338319611538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10471708.post-31462205633690447492011-07-07T14:21:26.516-07:002011-07-07T14:21:26.516-07:00I recently reread Harry Harrison's alternate h...I recently reread Harry Harrison's alternate history where the North and South unite to fight Britain in the "Stars and Stripes" trilogy. It is kinda hokey but I enjoyed it.<br /><br />Robert Conroy also wrote several interesting alternative fiction books that I have put on the kindle for summer reading fun.Trooper Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978703998566102194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10471708.post-49262089463899119582011-07-07T14:18:51.582-07:002011-07-07T14:18:51.582-07:00I want to see if I can the first one on my kindle....I want to see if I can the first one on my kindle.Trooper Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978703998566102194noreply@blogger.com
