GDG- Re: Gettysburg Digest, Vol 29, Issue 7

[Civil War Forum]

Charles,

I've only read the collected essays in "What Caused the Civil War,"  
which I've enjoyed very much. I'm looking forward to today's Q&A  
session. As a former student of his, I hope you'll drop by (4:00pm  
EST). http://community.netscape.com/civilwar

Questions about Gettsyburg, of course, are fair game.

Hope to see you and other GDGers there.
