Chasseur Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Today was a great day! I purchased two really great books at a blow out price at Chapters. I had a gift card given to me at Christmas by my sons/girlfriends. If by Sea by George C. Daughan won the Samual Eliot Morison Award and tells of the forging of the American Navy from the revolution to War of 1812. America Aflame by David Goldfield, tells how the Civil War created the USA. Mr. Goldfield is the Robert Lee Baily Professor of History at the University of Charlotte North Carolina. These will be good reads ... Jeff JesseLee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
