Yay! Thanks so much for telling us about The Times Dispatch series – today there is enemy movement on the south side of the James River, fyi. This is great to read together with the NYT’s Disunion series http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/category/disunion/ – it also comes in the Twitter variety https://twitter.com/NYTcivilwar/
Now I can get both sides of the war in (real time) + (150 years.)
Hope your mother is doing well today.
