Ok .. this book captures my heart, guess I will have to see what it will cost me. So many good books, so little time.
".. And then thinking about what surrender would mean, in one of the finest summations of what separated those valiant Southern boys from their Northern counterparts, George declares:
“It [the war] will be OUR fault….that is the way it will be told. We liked things the way they were. It was the Yankees who wanted to change things. They want to change the world. But when you think about it, I imagine that most folks are farmers same as us. When you think about, that should be enough. But the Yankees want to lay up treasures on earth. The whole country will be belching smoke and puffing steam. A man will try to sleep at night to trains and the whistles of steam. I reckon now we’ll see the kind of world they want to make. It ain’t likely to include us.” (p. 156)..."
Yup .. prophetic I tell you ..
I guess books to review and books to read are lining up .. no TV or You Tube videos of the Dutch Navy tonight !
