On a sunny afternoon about as far back as I can remember, my grandfather sat down next to me on the sofa in his living room. In his hands he held a thick, heavy book with the words "The Civil War" emblazoned in faded gold lettering on the spine. The book was Bruce Catton's American Heritage Picture History of the Civil War. Little did I know at the time that my grandfather had just introduced me to what would become a subject of lifelong interest - the history of the War Between the States. The pictures and maps in Catton's book captivated me and I pored over them for years. Indeed, one of the highlights of going to visit my grandparents' house on the holidays was having the chance to spend time with that book. I'd excuse myself from the di
