The War of Northern Agression was the Civil War, of COURSE! :-)

Hi. Thanks for responding! I did a quick "google" on the "War of Northern Aggression" and got no hits, so you'll have to fill me in on what exactly that war was (smile). Actually, although I do live in NJ, I actually spent a fair amount of time in Atlanta as a young lad from 1966-1974. Unfortunately, I didn't know enough to ask about going to see the sites down there. I do remember driving up I-95 and I-85 to visit family and passing so many revolutionary war and civil war sites - Kings Mountain, Petersburg, Fredericksburg, Manassas, Ft. McHenry - but never stopping. It wasn't until I was in my late 20s that I actually started visiting those places.

I'm just about done with mine now. I'll have slightly over 700 books when I'm done. These days I only buy non-fiction books. I won't buy popular fiction novels, their just too expensive, especially the hardbacks. The library is just fine for reading those. My goal is to have a book on every major and minor battle of the civil war. I use Abebooks to buy my books. I've found that you can get a good condition book at a very reasonable price.

Hi. We're soul mates! Both joined on March 4. We seem to share a similar taste in books as well. Hope to see you around.
