Just finished Glory Road, a really excellent work. I think the way Catton describes everything going on around and contributing to the war is quite illuminating. He still paints an excellent picture of what's up with the troops and generals but the stories around it all are really great balance. A few of the battles themselves, Fredericksburg especially felt rather confusing, still exciting though. Overall great book

Just finished Mr. Lincolns Army, quite good although some pieces didn't totally land. Catton is not as sympathetic to the abolitionists as I think would be expected. At least it's pretty far from lost cause rubbish.
On the other hand I loved his portrayal of McClellan. I just wanted to reach back through time and like, shake him by the shoulders. All the battle descriptions were utterly riveting too.

I started reading this multivolume history of the civil war and I'm quite enjoying it so I guess what I'm saying is I think I'm ready to be a father
