My civil war library

I was reorganizing my books and thought id share (brag). I tried to order them by oversized/atlases, general overviews of the war, bios and memoirs, and campaign studies.

On audio I have

"I dread the thought of that place" by Hartwig

"Vicksburg" by miller

"Dreams of victory" by Chick

"Sherman" by McDonough

"Sherman" by Hart

"Terrible swift sword: the life of Sheridan" by wheelan

"Mountains touched by fire" sword

"Master of war" by Bobrick

Shiloh books by Groom and Cunningham

"Tullahoma" by Powell

"Heart of hell" by wert

"Darkest days of the war" by Cozzens

Right now im working through Symonds bio of Johnston and really enjoying it. What should i add?Would like to find a copy of Edge of Glory, the Rosecrans bio but I dont wanna pay the going rate. Lewis Wallace's memoirs are on my list and a bio of Leonidas Polk.

Recent civil war acquisitions.

More civil war books because I have a problem and civil war books are cheap.

Damaged dock repair

A start up fly by night dock crew built a bunch of these on our lake then vanished as soon as stuff started to fail. Here's a great example of what inexperience can cause. There was only one weld holding the horizontal 13# i beam to the 33# vertical beam.

For the repair did a parameter weld, top and bottom, had to get in the water for that. And then added the angle brackets for over kill.
