Both of these are great and I learned a lot about the Hampton Roads Peace Conference, which I knew very little about.
Incidentally, for those who are unfamiliar, Civil War Talk Radio is a great show. Each week someone with an area of knowledge on the Civil War is interviewed (typically an author). It is a great introduction to a lot of books without having to buy (or in my case whetting my appetite so often that I buy more than I really have time to read!). All the shows are archived on the impediments of war website and can also be downloaded from iTunes. I listen to these almost exclusively now in the car when traveling from place to place. The time flies!
Great! Thanks so very much for the link - I've bookmarked it - great to listen to and download for those long trips up to Maryland/DC/Baltimore!
