    Brett:

    I appreciate your comments on my listing of Western Civil War books. I am sure you’re right in saying that not all of my choices are the best representatives of a particular campaign. I should have explained that I was seeking to get a list of the best one-volume treatments. I’ve heard good things about the Vicksburg and Port Hudson studies you mentioned and someday quite later in my life I hope to sit down and enjoy them.
