battle cry of freedom

Book of the Week: Battle Cry of Freedom.

I’m still in the middle of reading James McPherson’s Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era. It’s a big book on the American Civil War, and I’ve been busy. But it’s a good book! Nice and thick and full of stuff. Although maybe I should have gotten it on the Kindle: I might be farther along now if I had.

In the mail: Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era.

I grabbed Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era because I’ve never actually read it, hey? I usually read American Civil War books that concentrate on one thing or another, like a campaign or a general. Overviews are comparatively rare, for me.

And it’s such a big, fat book too! I can spend more than a day reading it, for a change.
