I read the book "The Lightning Brigde" many years ago and it was a very interesting read. Those boys and those rifles were impressive for sure. At one time, I had almost 600 books on the Civil War & WW I in my personal library. My wife and I are "downsizing" and a year ago, I passed on most of them to a younger man who teaches history and likes to read on the Civil War. We don't have kids so he would have ended up with them eventually - I figured he'd enjoy 'em as much as I have over the years. "The Lightning Brigade" was one book that I almost kept to re-read but figured I'm so busy at this time that I wouldn't get the time - maybe I'll have to "borrow" it back.
