Here is a touching piece drawing parallels between the famous Major Sullivan Ballou letter and another by one of our modern day heroes – a fellow blogger. Please check this one out. And follow this link to Major Olmstead’s full blog post.
The Major was a friend of fellow blogger Don at Crossed Sabers, and I notice that as I wrote this he put up a tribute. You can read it here.
Update – more details here.
Hi Harry–I’m a publicist at Viking/Penguin and would like to send you a review copy of THE BLOODY SHIRT: Terror After Appomattox by Stephen Budiansky for review consideration on your blog. Could you email me with a physical address where I might send the book?
Best,
