"Stump the Yankee"

[J. Beckert]

Now that I'm invigorated, probably pretty soon, Laurie! I'm done throwing softballs at you Rebs. If I can win the next 8 rounds in a row, I'll be winning. I have to get busy.

I don't know how many folks have the book, but it was very telling regarding Booth's personality. Everything we've heard about him was there. His congenial personality, his love of children, how easily he made friends, but also his dark side. Brooding, morose, quick tempered and volatile. It was very interesting. Now that I can never use it again, I'll share that the entire book can be found online.

Thanks, Gene. I'll have a bite of Yankee cheese for you.
