Thanks for the info Patch, Maybe you can grab the books and let us know some of the passage in it. For the man wrote already 2 books and working on a thirs one then like you say, what he has to say about it must be interesting.

Anyone can write a book. Not everyone can write a book that sells. I vaguely remember this man as editor of our newspaper a long time ago. From his picture published with the article, I have seen him in restaurants recently. Amazingly, in my small town, I do not know him.
Yeah its amazing what can go on or who lives in a small town and nobody knows. You see aperson everyday and say good morning or whatever not really knowing who that person is or what they have done. I will keep an eye out for the two books that the gentleman has written and if I can buy them to add to my History Library.

The two books written by your fellow townsman just arrived and I will soon be reading them. Looking forward to it.

I would expect his writing to be somewhat that of a journalist and that his approach would be more conservative. I would be surprised if he formed ideas of his own. More likely he researched and reported.
From what little I have quickly read Crisis of Command deal with the problems Gen Phil Sheridan had when he took Command of the Army of the Potomac. I haven't really got into the book yet but I will this weekend and post my impressions.

I wish I had more time to read. I have too many things going at one time. When he gets back in town I am going to try to round up signed copies of the two published books and the one coming out. Off topic, does anyone know of any good books re: Indians of the Mid West? A friend has a grand daughter living in a badly fractured home situation. She is of part Indian ancestry and is hanging on to that aspect of her life. I am not looking for "Custers Last Stand as told by the army." Something as seen from the Indian point of view would be more appropriate. Thanks
I have read very little about the North American Indian but I did look at Amazon.ca Which had quite a few titles listed. I am assuming that Amazon.com will be the same.It might help you. Good Luck.

There's also a book of essays called Blood Struggle that may work as well...can't think of the editor's name, my clan mother has my copy at the moment so I can't look it up right this minute.
