New:
"Days of
Glory"
by Larry J. Daniel: A review by Don Plezia (24 May 2004). "There are many more incidents of these contortions of the truth or poor research by the Reverend Daniel. They are too many to refute individually, so I’ll leave it to the reader to question the need for this attempt to revise history." |

Photos of "Thomaston" (Thomas's birthplace near Newsoms, VA) and Courtland where Thomas read law and clerked before going to West Point. Also an essay "Bring Thomas Home." |

Photos of conditions at Thomas Reservation (Orchard
Knob park) in Chattanooga, where Thomas
(behind
Grant's back) directed the battle on 24 and 25 Nov. 1863. It is
underutilized and neglected, and trash
is regularly deposited against the walls or in the street. In addition,
the west wall is crumbling.

Nov. 09. After 5 years of traveling (Mexico and Brazil) and
letting this website lie fallow, I'm back. I've just almost completed a
major overhaul of the website, repairing the map links, correcting
texts, and fussing with meta tags. Please let me know if I've missed
anything. |

NEXT PROJECT

"Schofield vs. Stanley" has been

aforethought.
It will be expanded further as I read up on Halleck. |
