…Got Me This Book For Xmas:
“THE UNTOLD CIVIL WAR: EXPLORING THE HUMAN SIDE OF WAR“
by JAMES ROBERTSON
🙂 🙂
Honestly, I Was Left Kinda Speechless.
It’s An Expensive Ought-Damned Book.
But, I Did Want It.
She (Maw) Was Worried I’d Be Disappointed With It.
But, I Love It AND Her.
You See, My Peeps, She Took Me To See The Flick…
“GETTYSBURG“
…Back During The Winter Of 1993.
Neither She, Nor I, Knew What We Were Getting Into With It.
When The 2-Hour Point Of The Flick Came And Went, She Kept Looking To Me Hoping It Was Going To Be Over Soon.
Little Did We Know We Weren’t Even Half-Way Through The Flick.
The Lights Came-Up, And She Assumed It Was Time To Head Home.
However, The Lights Only Came-Up To Signal The Intermission.
After The Intermission…
…Oh Yeah…
…Another 2+Hours Of The Flick Remained.
But, She Sat Through It.
She Sat Through All 4+Hours And Didn’t Complain About It One Bit.
Maw Knows I Love History.
She Knows I Love Documentaries.
She Knows I Love Historically Relevant Films.
She Knows I Love REAL Books.
She Knows One Of My Favorite Subjects Is The American Civil War.
So, Maw And Paw Totally Got Me The Royal Hook-Up With This Book.
I’m Already Loving It.
And, Honestly, I Likely Always Will Love It.
‘Tis An AWESOME Gift, Fo SHO, My Peeps.
And Sooooo…
…I Really Just Wanted To Say Thank You, Again, To Maw And Paw.
I Totally Appreciate How Well They Know Me…
…My Tastes…
…And Where My Personal Joy Lies In Wait.
THANK YOU!!!
