Oh yea I forgot to list the Civil War books that my grandfather gave me.
Photographic History of the Civil War Volumes 1-10 printed in 1951. These are remakes of the originals.
Official Civil War Records and Illustrations by Gen Marcus Wright. This one was priinted in 1898 and it definitely looks like it.
TheTime History Of The War printed in 1914. This one was about WWI but interesting nonetheless.
Grant Takes Command printed 1968. Written by Bruce Catton.
Decision in Mississippi printed in 1961. Written by Edwin C Bearss. This one has his autograph in it also.
The Confederacy Writen by Bruce Catton and Clifford Dowley. not sure when this was printed. It has a bunch of confederate hymns and also an old record of confederate songs.
A Stillness At Appomattox by Bruce Catton written in 1957.
Sorry to post these on your thread but I thought Ranger would be interested in them. My grandfather also has numerous other books at his house. I even have an old bullet from the civil that was placed in a cube of plexiglass. I'll try to post a pic if I can.

Its about the month of April 1865.
Month the war ended, month Lincoln was shot, month Union govt almost fell to thier own coup, after Richmond fell Lee no longer had to protect it and could now fight a war of maneuver (which he estimated could last up to 2 years longer) or he could retreat into the mountains and fight a guerilla war. This just scratches the surface too about what the book is about (so far!)

The real struggle begins after Lee gives in to Grant.....Most forget the war still raged between Sherman and Johnson, Nathan Bedford Forrest was ravaging the countryside.....Very unique perspective that most never realized....
