DEATH OF A LATE BLOOMING SQUARE PEG

The Neurolearning blog honors the passing of the great popular historian of the Civil War, Shelby Foote who came to his craft in an unlikely way.

” Let us cross the river and rest under the shade of the trees.”

R.I.P. Mr. Foote.

    I was inspired to read the 3 vols. of his Civil War after the PBS series. It was everything he was as a commentator on the program. If you plan on doing so, space them out for the best appreciation.
