Looking forward to the review..

Thanks also for your incisive review. As always, we can argue about one point or another about Cox and the war, but as he found out even in the nineteenth century, the "re-fighting" of the war goes on and on and on -- including in excellent blogs like yours.

I'd add Powell/Chickamauga, Smith/Shiloh, and Sommers/Petersburg (revised) to your list, which has 3 equally worthy candidates.
