"Don't Hurry Me Down to Hades"

[J. Beckert]

That's interesting, Linda. First hand accounts are always the best and I believe give us the truest perspective. I especially thought the piece about the slave was interesting - " a runaway slave won freedom for himself and his family by joining the Union Army only to face prejudice as brutal and destructive as the life he’d left behind." I want to read "War Crimes Against Southern Civilians" next. The war's darkest days didn't always commence as the Battle Hymn played.
