He also provides a list of his favorite authors (mostly 19th century United Kingdom) and favorite books, as well as favorite characters from the books he has read, not in a ...

The heroism of the overpowered South during that time was strangely slighted by historians. For more than 60 years it has remained practically unknown except to a few survivors of the day.
