A Blaze of Glory--#10 finished

This is the 2nd series by author--he did a 3 book series on the eastern part of the Civil War, this is another 3 book series but on the western part.  This first book is on the Battle of Shiloh.  Back in college days on a trip to Nashville with a couple buddies, we veered off & went to the Civil War site of Shiloh.  This was about 30 years ago and I still remember parts of that, reading this book reminded me.  Lots of trees with also open fields between.  The bloody pond, the peach trees and the Tennessee River where Grant was with no way out unless on boats.  The river was just a kind of reminder that if the Confederates had succeeded in pushing the Union back to the river, the whole outcome of the Civil War changes--Grant's western army would be in pieces and Grant probably replaced & would never see taking over the whole army.  This is a very good telling of the story--obviously fictional in many ways but truthful in outcomes.  Good read about a very important time in our US history.

This is a keeper book for me, just need to make time to get to the next 2 books in series.
