re: #234 Dark_Falcon

Part of the reason Hood was successful commanding a division was that he served under the steady James Longstreet.

I liked “Guns of the South”. Turtledove did a good job portraying the Army of Northern Virginia and its commander. Some disagree with his depiction of General Lee, but he admits in the afterword that he ignored the ‘revisionist’ image of Lee in is his writing. He based his view of Marse Robert off of Lee’s letters and papers.

I liked Guns of the South also, it’s not often you see a time travel book NONE OF WHICH is told from the point of view of the time travelers….
