New on the Shelf
Dropped by the bookstore this morning and picked up a few titles that looked interesting:
- Lincoln’s Avengers: Justice, Revenge and Reunion After the Civil War, by Elizabeth D. Leonard
- Now for the Contest: Coastal & Oceanic Naval Operations in the Civil War, by William H. Roberts
- The Making of Robert E. Lee, by Michael Fellman
- Dixie Betrayed: How the South Really Lost the Civil War, by David J. Eicher
- The Old Man: John Brown at Harper’s Ferry by Truman Nelson
Most of these will probably take a while to get to, so if y’all have any suggestions about what to look for — or look out for — in them, let me know.

Leonard’s book is very good.
:Dixie Betrayed” seems to be attracting some nasty feedback for attacking Jeff Davis. But then more recent feedback seems more balanced.
