Lincoln in the Telegraph Office, a memoir by one of the telegraphers; entertaining in its many insights into the character of Lincoln.

Just started Now the Drum of War; Walt Whitman and his Brothers in the Civil War. Haven't gotten more than a handful of chapters into it but it's marvelous thus far.

Roper's a good writer and isn't afraid of making his own interpretations. And I am happy to report that the focus appears to be on the war, and not overwhelmingly on Walt. In fact, it begins with a discussion of his rather interesting brother, George, and mother Whitman.

Thank you by the way for the assistance with My Life with the Army in the West. I'm afraid I'm rather late in getting back to you with a reply.

Have just started All for the Regiment, by Gerald J. Prokopowicz. We'll see how well he sustains his thesis about the reasons for that army's performance.

I am about 1/2 done 1858. Not too shabby. I think I will be next be starting either Wert's Mosby's Rangers, or Writing the Civil War edited by McPherson and Cooper (can't decide which yet).
