140 years ago today, the world lost a great man. American lost one of her finest citizens. Do yourself a favor and read Ron Chernow's biography of Grant, then read Grant's autobiography. I have no doubt you'll come away feeling the same way I do about the man.

Killed 161 years ago today, Major General James B. McPherson. One of the best and most beloved generals in the Union army. I have no doubt he would have been President some day had he lived.

Excited to see my friend Tim cover my 4th great grandpa Sgt Dan Servey's 4th Pennsylvania Cavalry monument at Gettysburg. Already been thinking about them for my next book.

Am I cynical for finding the timing of this (in light of the WSJ story) convenient?.

I realize now why I don't write more books. I am so invested in the lives of these men I'm writing about that I have to take a break and compose myself after I get to their deaths in the story. I've done the research long ago, but their lives, their stories are real now.
