Congratulations! There are so many highlights among the many great posts. Two I think of more than others are the post of First Battle of Bull Run where the article was exclusively direct quotes from the participants while the battle was ongoing. What a great article. And I think of the doctor’s posted theory that Sandy Pendleton may be the person responsible for Lee’s Lost Orders 191. But what a great series the blog is. Thank you to all who made it so, your care and labors of love, thank you.
Thanks for all your support and encouragement (and comments!).
