And to be fair, Harry Harrison had (I think) an art degree

Yeah, a hard fist rather than a simple thumb on the scales for the Confederates, as if Lee were operating with satellite recon.

And to be fair, Harry Harrison had (I think) an art degree and worked his way into writing for the pulps by way of cover designs; Gingrich has a Phd from Tulane and actually taught at the college level. Forstchen has one from Purdue and is still on faculty somewhere, IIRC.

Turtledove, who I think in his own way is as - um - challenged in his fiction at times as Drs. Gingrich and Forstchen, has one from UCLA...

I'm not sure what the lesson is here, but I'll grant Mr. Harrison some leeway...

Best,

The Army of the Tennessee was special;

Uncle Billy's boys never had any problems with their personal sense of elan, except the Army of the Cumberland. They got their elan at Missionary Ridge:cool:

One interesting point from Glathaar's social history of the Army of the Tennessee is that veterans were about ten times more likely to reenlist under Sherman than the other US commanders...there's a reason he had the nickname, I think.

Best,
