Life on the Civil War Research Trail
Thanks to @barbaramichiels5503 for asking about recommended books. I have two lists to share:
"The best books about life during the American Civil War by those who experienced it," which I shared on Shepherd: shepherd.com/best-books/the-american-civil-war-by-…
"Five Best: Ronald S. Coddington on Civil War Nurses" in the Wall Street Journal (subscription required): www.wsj.com/articles/five-best-ronald-s-coddington…
I have plenty more first person books scattered about my notes and referenced in the videos!
