Anyway, I finished McPherson's Battle Cry of Freedom, and I am currently continuing to learn more about this war by reading the highly recommended The Civil War by Shelby Foote and Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith.
I think your proposed title is entirely too brief and peremptory for the nitpickers.
Abraham Lincoln : Vampire Hunter, eh? What next:" Stonewall Jackson: Werewolf" or " General Grant's Dragons?" I wonder if centuries from now, such books will be taken as history.?
