Another update

So far, for research, I’ve read the first volume of Shelby Foote’s Civil War: A Narrative (a fascinating ground-level view of the war) and Grant Goes South by Bruce Catton (a biography which focuses exclusively on his service during the first years of the American Civil War), and I’m currently reading Battle Cry of Freedom by James McPherson, and listening to Grant by Ron Chernow.  

On the subject of the co-venture, my wife and I are discussing how best to approach them. We have decided to make them compatible, though they can be seen as independent reads. 

That’s all for now.
