I was struck by how the ground the union was on was higher, so they'd be pouring a fire down into it, making it like a death trap

Having been there, it does seem to me a pretty terrible position for the Confederates to deploy. Was surprised as I was used to reading how strong it was, the sunken lane seemed a death trap

Seen DS9, Enterprise and Next Generation, but that's it regarding star trek shows. Not heard of Firefly.
Currently just flicking through different episodes of Quantum Leap, the original not this new one they made

Before my time. Aside from children's tv, only started taking an interest in other shows about 10years ago, and that was re-runs of Star Trek Enterprise

No. Not heard of it

Mine is rather easy as all males, on paternal line, are just William and Richard for the past several hundred years. One interesting find was a marriage certificate where the wife simply signed "X", evidently couldn't write

The main document I used for the book I've been working on was 25000 words by Wellington, and he spells names differently most times they appear within the one document - especially place names. Was a little irritating, but it also adds to the human factor of it

Lee. He kept up the pressure and attacks despite failures. A lesser general would have backed off. He was determined to annihilate the enemy, which was what was needed. Obviously he didn't, but the intention alone hands it to him.

For responding to events, Chancellorsville.
But as a General, Seven Days. Takes over at the gates of Richmond, ends the campaign ready to move North on Pope. Completely turned it around, despite losing most the battles, showed the fighter he'd be

Not sure will have to check when I am next in that house; the room I use as a "library" is rather in a mess currently, all shelves filled and piles on the floor. He could be buried somewhere.

Yes I have a few on him, think he's lurking on another bookshelf with Hood, Bragg and Johnston. That one is mostly Lee, and then udner him books on different campaigns and battles. Really need to organise it, take down that temporary stuff and have new built, but have been busy

Mine have a few library marks on the front, but they do the job well enough

Cheaper than what I paid for that set, bought it on AbeBooks maybe 5 years or so ago

Looks interesting, although I'm not a member. Usually avoid groups, not sure why

Got my hands on the silver one since. Shows Wellington meeting Blucher, a wounded Prince of Orange, and the shadow of Napoleon looming over all

Thanks very much!
