Recently read (and heard)

I enjoyed the audio book "Gone for Soldiers" by Jeff Shaara. It was an effortless novel to listen to and I finally got a picture of the United States Military Experience in the Mexican War. My particular interest was where crossed the paths of future Civil War officers, such as how Lee met Grant and why he remembered him at Appomattox many years later.

"The Well-Mannered Dog" covers basic dog training and gives some special tips on traveling with dogs. Much of it is basic but I need all the help I can get with Ben's barking.
