@HamptonNewsome That might be the most positive statement about Rosecrans to come from Grant's headquarters.

Looking forward to this. The previous book Longstreet at Gettysburg was quite good.

@Wrap10 Agreed, the article provides some necessary context and helps counter some narratives about the engagement.

[Civil War Insight @cwinsight]

@RichardPCondon The context is key. A visitor should be left with some real questions about the event and how it is memorialized.

@AdamHDomby @davidsilkenat Let that number sink in, 236,000 acres of rice fields, and built on the backs of the enslaved in horrible conditions. The number of lives that must have been lost doing that kind of work.

[Civil War Insight @cwinsight]

@Wrap10 D. I would say there is a chance, though quite difficult, to win the war. But Gettysburg does not end it. Vicksburg and Tullahoma still hold significant weight regardless of Gettysburg.

[Civil War Insight @cwinsight]

This is an interesting question to consider.

[Brooks D. Simpson @BrooksDSimpson]

Rank in in order of importance the services of these US officers in defending Little Round Top:

GK Warren
Strong Vincent
Charles Hazlett
Joshua Chamberlain
Patrick O'Rorke
Stephen Weed

[Civil War Insight @cwinsight]

@BrooksDSimpson Quite interesting to consider all men at the same time, but I would go with:
Warren
Vincent
Chamberlain
O'Rourke
Weed
Hazlett

@InkedHistorian @The_Jaunty_Crow Congratulations!

[Civil War Insight @cwinsight]

@josephricci24 @Battlefields @sarahkaybierle Agreed, this is great work.

[Civil War Insight @cwinsight]

@theknightirish @JohnLFC1979 I received my copy in the US directly from the publisher a week ago. So the books are becoming available, might take some time to get overseas though.

[Civil War Insight @cwinsight]

@HomeBrewHistory Cheers to both of you, and thanks for the entertaining and educational content.

[Civil War Insight @cwinsight]

@josephricci24 That group seems to get especially fired up periodically. Don't blame you for locking down, they will go away soon enough.

[Civil War Insight @cwinsight]

Thanks to @Kansas_Press for this new Tim Smith book today. Definitely looking forward to this next volume in the Vicksburg series. #civilwar

@josephricci24 Sad that there are still people out there who have no interest in the truth and think it is appropriate to shout and argue with a guide. Tomorrow is a new day though.
