Heh.

I’d also like to see more about the personal lives of these characters. Haven’t their strategy/tactics been done to death by now? For instance, how many know that Stonewall Jackson’s sister (not to mention Robert E. Lee’s sister) was diehard Union?

Not that it’s not interesting stuff, it just doesn’t seem to fit with what he’s looking at, which is army command in the days following Ft. Sumter and beyond.

John McDowell, son of General Irvin McDowell, was born in Iowa and raised in by Colonel John Adair McDowell in Iowa. Since this might me the line I come from, I’m surprised Dmitri missed this juicy piece of scandal.

If you check the Wikipedia article on General McDowell and look at the notes on Land of the Buckeye you will find this info on John McDowell.
