Killer Angels

Was just reminded by my brother that I need to check out "Killer Angels" about the civil war - especially in and around Gettysburg - my daughter and I have made the trek to his home in DC several times but this will be the second time we go to Gettysburg. We are very much looking forward to it! Starting to plan our museum visits as well....it is soooo fun out there. Going to check out some histories of Alexandria too. Any suggestions?

Hello!

Wow - another long time.....the perils of having a blog along with tweeting and facebook and online gaming! LOL Having fun though and that's the important thing. Found a neat site that dovetails to me very well - anyone who knows me, knows that I consume books. Well, this site offers an opportunity to read books and give my humble opinion.....at least this way it'll get down semi-permanently instead of floating through the air and in emails to my friends and family about what I've read. They love to know because it helps me recover from my stroke and let's them know what I've read so that they don't buy it for me! LOL - the librarians shiver when I walk into the door carrying mt cloth bookbag to load up.
Working on some political books now - just want to read them to see what they have to say. Reading O'Reilly's "Bold Fresh" and "The 5,000 Year Leap - Principles of Freedom 101" recommended by Glenn Beck.
Yes, I am a fan of FOX and am a conservative, fiscally and otherwise. :)

Will start posating reviews of other books I've read here too - please add your comments or questions as you wish
