hillbillybear; Good evening to you sir and thanks so much for the very interesting thread.
Hopefully it's OK for me as a northern neighbor to express an interest in another country's history - but then as a historian you likely know that somewhere around 40000 Canucks or folks from what was soon to be Canada went south to fight for both sides.
There were also something like 12000 from the states who crossed north to avoid the draft so I read.
Lastly, there's strong evidence that the War Between the States was a major catalyst to the formation of Canada itself so it's always been of interest to me personally.
On another personal note my wife's great grandfather fought in it and is buried in Minnesota.
Anyway sir, thanks for the reading list and methodology involved I appreciate you taking the time. All the best to you and yours this summer.
Dwayne
