I am currently reading April 1865: The Month That Saved America, by Jay Winik. So far it is an informative book that addresses issues that others commonly miss. The chapter I am currently reading highlights Lee’s retreat from Petersburg and Grant’s pursuit. If you are looking for a new book I suggest you take a look.
I came across a video of the historian Shelby Foote that features over 10 minutes of commentary he delivered for the documentary The Civil War by Ken Burns. Enjoy!
This semester I will update this blog so that you might find helpful resources and information about the class. This blog will also feature class anouncements and important dates that may arise. So stay tuned!
