Students,

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.

The Best of Shelby Foote

Students,

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!

Greetings!
