Davis - 4 stars We know the uniforms they wore, the weapons they carried, and the battles they fought, but what did they eat and, of even greater curiosity, was it any good? Now, for the very first time, the food that fueled the armies of the North and the South and the soldiers' opinions of it, ranging from the sublime to just slime. There's even a comprehensive "cookbook" of actual recipes included for those intrepid enough to try a taste of the Civil War. |

| Carrying the Flag: The Story of Private Charles Whilden, the Confederacy's Most Unlikely Hero by Gordon C. Rhea - 4 stars The story of a private who's life motto seemed to be (in the words of the old Hee Haw song), "if it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all." Charles failed at just about everything ever he tried yet on one fatefull day during the Battle of the Mule Shoe he wrapped his regiment's battle flag around his body and lead them forward in recovering and holding the key part of the line. His is the story of how one unknown person altered the course of history. |
