Scourge of War Boards

I really enjoyed the books, not enough to read them over and over. But they gave me the history in a format that I could really get into. I got a good overview of the war and was able to discover the personalities. Best part of the last full measure was the end, when Chamberlain ordered his men to salute

Very wishful indeed but that is how it would probably go but you got to add some small important things in there... Hill being killed, Lee's retreat across the potomac, bristoue station, Gordon's attack on those union forts at Petersburg, Hill suffering from his illnis at the Wilderness, Lee attempting to lead his men into the bullets, ect.

Here's a peace I thought was very exciting in the book...
...Lee saw one man holding a battle flag, the man bloody, staggering, and he moved toward him, said, "Here, son, let me..." The man looked at him, dropped to one knee, said nothing, and Lee saw now the face of a child, the sharp eyes, the bright light looking up at him , and the boy released the flag. Lee held it up high, began to wave it, catching the breeze. Now more men fell into line beside him, behind him, and they began to cheer, to yell out his name. He stared below, into the trees, was ready to ride, to move in one hard wave down into the face of the enemy, drive them out, drive them away. The flag was slapping hard around him, catching a sharp gust of wind, the horse staggering to keep straight,and he thought, Yes, we will not be beaten, you cannot take this away from us!
Behind him there was a new sound, men moving over the crest of the hill, a heavy battle line. It was Mahone's men, and all along the hill came the sound of rebel yell, high and terrible. suddenly, someone grabbed the flag, and Lee would not let go, looked at the man with hot anger, How dare you... saw the face of Mahone.
Mahone still gripped the flag, gave a firm pull, and Lee felt it slip out of his hands. Mahone said, "General this is my job."
