pickI recently delved into "Union Cavalry: 1861-65" by Philip Katcher and Richard Hook, and I must say, it's a phenomenal contribution to the Warrior Series by Osprey Publishing. As someone with a keen interest in military history, I found this book to be a well-researched and captivating exploration of the pivotal role the Union Cavalry played during the Civil War.
Maryes Heights is such a tragedy. So many charges to get slaughtered.
#TopReads2024 continues with my November pick 🦃🍗🎃🥧🥔🍞🥖🥕🌽🍏🍐🍄🟫🧅🧄🫛🍠🇺🇸🏈🍂🍁 “We Gather Together” by Denise Kiernan. This was such a great book to read during the Thanksgiving season, I loved it. Her other books are amazing too, definitely check out her backlist 👍
pickStephen gives a perfect account of the battle considered the greatest confederate victory. Using actual sources such letters and diaries makes this a must read for civil war buffs.
pickShaara immerses readers in the captivating world of the Eastern Theater during the final years of the Civil War. This intriguing sequel to The Killer Angels is a must-read.
pickThis prequel to "The Killer Angels" is highly commendable. It features numerous characters that reappear in the subsequent narrative. The work explores several analogous themes, including family dynamics, friendship, the complexities of decision-making, the institution of slavery, and the contrasting perspectives of the Union and Confederacy.
pickI‘ve enjoyed Kiernan‘s other books so I thought it was finally time to read her book on Thanksgiving and Gratitude - and I‘m so ‘thankful‘ I did 🤗 This is a very well written history of the Thanksgiving holiday and the woman who fought to make it a national day of gratitude. It was at times hard to read (I made more than 1 exasperated sigh at how history repeats itself), but a fascinating read nonetheless.
One picture to show that yesterday was my payday 🤣 I went onto Pango to see if someone was selling a copy of the tagged book and then 3 others just hopped in my cart 🤷🏼♀️ -Starts to hum ‘Anticipation‘ by Carly Simon-
pickGosh, lots to read but all so softly written. Constance goes to fight instead of Bartholomew. She is strong yet deeply hurt. This story tells of her background, her own mother and those she encounters. His writing is so good.
