Foote’s Civil Way Trilogy Available for Download
Update, August 2014: These appear to have been taken offline.
______________
Volume 1: From Sumter to Perryville
Volume 2: Fredericksburg to Meridian
Volume 3: Red River to Appomattox
Note that Archive.org has the files of Vols. 2 and 3 reversed, so when you follow the links it will look like the wrong one. But they’re both there.
Enjoy!

Dead Confederates, A Civil War Era Blog 
I guess Shelby’s not going to sue.
I’m sure he has a funny story about it, though.
And it probably involves a Confederate veteran commenting on it. ; )
Namely N. B. Forrest.
Andy, I received Foote’s trilogy, as a gift in 1975 or ’76. I had first read Shelby’s “Shiloh” in the 60’s. He had a marvelous way of telling a story. It was obvious it had a Southern slant, but Civil War history then, was shared and researched a lot differently than it is today. One of my sons, who is a young, card-carrying attorney in Los Angeles, never fails to subtly remind the old man, “that the contemporary take on history is in flux and just as the constitution is a living document, should re-focus with the times.” Occasionally that is easier said than done. Keep up the great posts and comments.

Fantastic. Thanks!
Side note – Your links to volumes 2 and 3 are mixed.
Ha. RTFQ. I just saw your last line about the volumes. Sorry about that.
