To read more, offline, about area that has become the Confederate Memorial Museum, pick up The Prairie was on Fire: Eyewitness Accounts of the Civil War in the Indian Territory, by Whit Edwards and published by the Oklahoma Historical Society. Other publications include information about the only designated Confederate cemetery in Oklahoma in Here We Rest: Historic Cemeteries of Oklahoma by Kent Ruth and Jim Argo (OHS), and “Civil War Sites in Oklahoma”, by Muriel H. Wright and LeRoy H. Fischer in The Chronicles of Oklahoma 44 (Summer 1966).

Read all about it – No PC book here…
The Politically Incorrect Guide To The South, by H. W. Crocker III, and published by Regency Publishing Company, is one this Historian is interested in reading. Civil War News, states “…will not win any friends or accolades from those who see the war through the prism of the North.” and goes on to state the author used “evenhandedness” in regards to his eye on history. This looks to be a fun read and I, for one, am putting it on my “to read” list.
Good summer reading?
