I am really digging on this blogging thing. I know...I'm a dork. I know some of you love reading about history. When I was about 11 I watched a mini series about the Civil War called "The Blue and the Gray." If you haven't seen it, it is really good (although I'm well aware how OLD it is now). Anyway, after I watched it I actually felt like I understood how complicated the Civil War really was. Having Jean drag my sisters and I (kicking and screaming) to Gettysburg for Spring Break one year solidified it. Gettysburg is one creepy little town. But hey, aren't most wars creepy? Anyway, here's a list of Civil War-type books. Till next time! -SuzanneFICTION
