My husband is the author and he has been written up in seven area newspapers this year and has had 13 book signings since March. His book has already been placed in three area high schools and two weeks ago, a history professor at Steubenville University wrote stating he "enjoyed it immensely" and is placing it in the library there. Others are now perusing it for their schools. It is wonderful for teens as well as adults. Many history teachers bought it at his signing at Mumford last summer during their Civil War Days. It is available online as well as Barnes & Noble or Borders Books.

After all, it is a novel. What is your view? I agree with placing Jeff Shaara’s novel on the list but some have said that it contains a number of factual inaccuracies. After all, it is a novel.

I have Nine out of the Ten books in your list. I will have to get the book on the Iron Brigade soon. It is good to see the 'Killer Angels' on another list because it was the book that brought the battle to life for me. Thanks, Chris Great list! I have Nine out of the Ten books in your list.

There's a lesson to be learned here: never post blog comments at 1 AM. By the way, I like all of your choices, and you've inspired me to finally sit down with Boritt and Reardon, but I'm the only person I know who can't stand The Killer Angels!

And in answer to your question, my "American Minute" comments have absolutely no connection to your top ten project (which I have been following with interest, and I've commented on some of the other bloggers' picks). Having an interest in assasinations I picked up on the Garfield shooting story and wanted to comment on it.

I've enjoyed your blog for quite awhile now. But I'm curious: what do you think of these "American Minute" sidebar pieces? While they do serve to remind us of some less well-remembered events in our history, they are clearly an attempt at conservative propaganda. The entry for July 2, for example, points out in the first sentence that President Garfield was shot by "a member of a polygamist-type cult." The story goes on to quote at length from the devout Garfield's Christianity-infused inaugeral address--implying that his assasination was a result of weakening American morals. As a history teacher, you're probably aware that Charles Guiteau (the president's assasin) was simply a demented office-seeker. He had not been a member of the Oneida Community--the notorious free-love commune--for several years prior to the shooting, and this episode in his past hardly played a significant role in Garfield's murder. These so-called "American Minutes" are rather partisan and misleading. Chris: Excellent choices. I’ve enjoyed your blog for quite awhile now.
