I'm heading into the chapter on George Sanders now, and I'm detecting a little personal comment in Bill's choice of that title - The Last Shot. I'm suspecting that HE is taking a last shot at educating the readers to various overlooked or ignored aspects of the years leading up to and away from the Civil War since we/they haven't been listening (or haven't paid attention) to historians on both sides of the issue.
