I finished that and am now onto Treason

The Ballad of Johnny Madigan was in some ways a bit of a disappointment in that I wanted a read about the Civil War from a participants point of view, and the first half of the book satisfied that. Although the second half was still about Johnny, the shift of action away from the battlefield was a might disappointing. However the story was a good read overall.

Calisthenics and guerrilla - I hadn't realised these words originated in the 1800's - made me look them up ! )
