Re: My Dad helped with this book
I really didn't have a long time to spend at the Battlefield. I forget that for all that Custer was a grade A ass, most of the men who were with him were perfectly reasonable people with interesting stories, just as those on the other side were...
And it's got to be more readable than the book my father helped with...

Re: My Dad helped with this book
The history I read tends to be a bit more "meta" (or is that macro?) but I try not to forget that the discipline needs solid tiny details to have any sort of truth at all. (And a lot of history is, as Ford said, bunk, but not for the reasons he said it.)
So here's a shot of pluot infused vodka for your dad.
Prost!

Nice.

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me
