RE: Good Bye Old House
Quote:I've just finished Walter Cisco's War Crimes Against Southern Civilians. The book is horrific and it seems there's an atrocity detailed in every paragraph. The looting, rape, arson and torture commited during the push through the South is something anyone who thinks that the Union Army was on a Divine mission for freedom really should read.

OK - I'm hooked....this one's going on my summer reading list. Wonder if this in part fueled the idea of Booth and Powell's attacks against the government - i.e. Northern atrocities against the South? Any thoughts on this?

This could bring on a good debate under another new thread....
