Reviews

[Matt Hoover · Rating 4 out of 5]

As a fellow historian, Gould's reasoning is cutting and his research exhaustive. Excellent to work with this as a primary source.

As a reader, good grief man. I admire your passion to write with this vitriol and standard of research in the pre-World War I era.

A very brief examination of the mortal wounding of General Mansfield at Antietam.
