Article by General Sherman on his ‘Grand Strategy’ of the Civil War

Another blog I regularly follow pointed me in the direction of a very interesting article written by General William T. Sherman about his 'Grand Strategy' of the Civil War. It's interesting to read Sherman's take on it about two decades after it actually took place.

I know this post is a bit short, but unfortunately I don't have a whole lot of time to write more at the moment. Future posts will be longer and more informative.

Free Civil War and Reconstruction Lectures from Yale

The other day I stumbled upon a website called Academic Earth. The purpose of the website is to provide free lectures on various subjects from the leading universities in the US. I very eagerly browsed through their history section and ran across a series of lectures by Professor David W. Blight from Yale University about the American Civil War and the period of Reconstruction afterwards. The videos on the site include the entire course. I intend to watch every one of the lectures which are quite detailed and are about 45 minutes long each.
