Dr. Shea's Prairie Grove Book

I just finished reading Bill Shea's "Fields of Blood: The Prairie Grove Campaign." All I can say is, WOW! It's everything we hoped and expected it to be.

I'll have a lot more to say about the book in a future post, but for now I highly recommend this book to all my friends and colleagues. You will not be disappointed. Dr. Shea's book is an instant classic, and it will be on the shelves of universities and libraries for decades to come.

More later, after I've had time to think about and digest what I've just had the great pleasure of reading.
