"Confederates in the Attic..." by Tony Horwitz and "Look Away! A History of the Confederate States of America" by William C. Davis are two very well written books. I enjoyed them a lot.

I've only read part of "Legacy of the Civil War" by RPWarren, but the parts I read seemed to be very interesting.

my Dad has read "The Real Lincoln".

 

I've read Southern By The Grace Of God by Grissom....amazing book. This guy who owns a store (Dixie Outpost)..I've become friends with him, and he is good friends with Grissom. Grissom is a very intelligent man (from what I've read), as is his friend. I've also read Down Home Grizzard. Hilarious...wish he was still alive.

 

A book I'm reading now is called "When In the Course of Events". Awesome so far.
