Hi Herlock,

If you were a fan of the Civil War documentary, I highly recommend Co. Aytch by Sam Watkins. It was the Rebel diary they kept citing from in the series. A great look at what the war was like from the perspective of a Rebel private.

Co Aytch is one of the most entertaining memoirs, but Sam Watkins isn't quite the man of the people that he pretends. He came from the third wealthiest family in his county and his father owned over 100 slaves. Watkins brought one of them along to do all of the non-fighting work for him.

I think that’s another part of it CF. These little dogs are often carried around like babies.

They actually make 'belly carriers" (if that's the proper term) for small dogs.

I certainly don’t dislike small dogs, it’s just the yapping.

To be fair, it's just about the only way they can say "I'm down HERE! Don't step ('tread') on me!"

Sort of like snakes, which are even MORE abused.

Anything by Ken Burns is good imo c.d. I think his series on The Civil War is one of the best documentaries I’ve seen.

I would add Baseball*, Jefferson and Lewis & Clark.

*I actually ordered the box set from Amazon because I couldn't fin it on YouTube any more.
