I bought this new when it *was* new. I thoroughly enjoyed the PBS TV show and this companion book as well, reading it cover to cover. They both humanized the U.S. Civil War for me, taking away the impersonal statistics and results and replacing them with flesh-and-blood victims and heroes.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
WILD RELEASE NOTES:
This is one of several books I will be releasing today at the Westmoreland Arts & Heritage Festival at Twin Lakes. I don't know exactly where or when I'll be leaving it, but check tables, benches, booths, and walkways!
Congratulations--you caught a book!
It may have seemed odd to find this lying around, but rest assured it's not lost and it's not forgotten. Feel free to read it, pass it on to a friend, or release it in the wild like I did. You can even keep it, if you like, but are books really happy when they're just sitting on a shelf? I'd have to say no.
