Nov. 14, 2009:
After reading Dr. Benson's suggestions, I went back to McPherson's "Battle Cry of Freedom" and Greene's "The Final Battles of the Petersburg Campaign: Breaking the Backbone of the Rebellion" for more contextual information. I'm beginning to think I have a mental block, because I had a hard time pulling out information to fit well into my almost complete episodes. I also checked the following references:
Charles Augustus Stevens, Berdan’s United States Sharpshooters in the Army of the Potomac
Chandra Manning, What This Cruel War Was Over
Russell F. Weigley, “The Founding of American Strategic Studies,” The American Way of War: A History of United States Military Strategy and Policy
As a result, I tried to do a total re-write of the Barber episode and the Weldon Railroad destruction. Not sure I like either one now!
