RE: The City Point Visit
I have read it just a little while ago and thought it to be very good. Not only is it written well, it included a wealth of stories and anecdotes that I was not familiar with. I highly recommend this book!

Also, the author will speak on Author's Voice on Saturday, a program that can be viewed online as it happens and viewers can send in questions or discuss.

In case of emergency, Lincoln and children first.

So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?

RE: The City Point Visit
Laurie - I was not aware of it, and obviously have not read it, but I have read several of Trudeau's books, namely his trilogy on the end of the Civil War (Bloody Roads South (May - June 1864), The Last Citadel (June 1864 - April 1865), and Out of the Storm (April - June 1865)), and Gettysburg. I find his research solid, and he writes well, so I would put it on my Christmas Wish List. Lisa, are you reading this???
