I’d write more Civil War stuff like ‘Bring the Jubilee,’ except that it’s a field of overlapping rhetorical minefields. Although I don’t care about the opinions of the monomaniacal historical illiterates, mind you: I’ve been ignoring them for years. No, it’s the monomaniacal historical literates who would eat me alive. And I am not going to spend six months figuring out just what damned buttons George H Thomas or Nathan Bedford Forrest were wearing at the damned battle of Chickamauga. Life is just too damned short.
