"Readable" and "even-handed" would apply as well. This is not faint praise. Telling a story in just a few words takes a lot of discipline.

Then I crammed everything I could into that allotment of words. And now, after 150 years, Charlotte has its first book about the roll the city played during the War. Michael C.

Well researched and written.
Incomplete...Michael,<br /><br />Well researched and written.<br />Incomplete? Sure.<br />I've got all kinds of interesting details,late '64 and early '65 about the 10th Michigan Cav., 13th Tn.Cav., 11th Ga. "Sumter Flying Artillery", etc, that happened within 25 miles of Charlotte.<br /><br />Little or nothing to do with Wilson's Store and Sherman's Feint<br /><br />But that's a different story for a different book!<br /><br />Pretty sure you know this, but I'll bet "Bert" doesn't.<br /><br />May 31, 1775<br /><br />Thanks, <br />Kevin Ellis<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Kevin Ellisnoreply@blogger.com
