[AGL] Fw: Re: [GH2] secede? WTF! and TX history during Civil War...

[michele mason]

Hi guys,

Just heard of new book from very intelligent friend. Known her for 30+ 
yrs. She knows I have the Shelby collection and of my interest in my 
Southern heritage. Before you boo, give it a chance. I don't have much 
info as yet, but the book is "The South was Right". Planning to find 
author and check it out.  We'll see. Of course, no doubt horrors all 
over during war.

michele —anybody read it?
