Major Rathbone's accomodation in Hannover

[Laurie Verge]

I'm a little late in joining in on Mallon's book, but I enjoyed it tremendously. He explains himself very well as to why he had to use fiction in order to put meat on the bones of some missing history, but it is well-worth reading. In a way, it reminds me of Bill Richter's Last Confederate Heroes. Bill tells you right up front that it is historical fiction because he had to fill in some blanks or insert some speculations. However, I would hazard a guess that 90% of each book is based on fact.

BTW: Tom Mallon was an excellent speaker when he presented at one of our early conferences at Surratt House.
