Sir, I just visited your site. I've been there before but didn't connect the name. I see that you reported the death of Phillip Shaw Paludan. He was indeed a remarkable man. You know, I really can't say how many times I have read his book ....Victims, A True Story Of The Civil War.....in fact I recently posted a quote from Kirby-Smith that I had read in the book. Mr. Paludan will indeed be missed by those who have read and enjoyed his works. Very much so.
