Interesting article about Civil War surgical hospitals in the field. The best part is that the two soldiers will be buried at Arlington in coffins made out of trees from the Second Battle of Bull Run.

I am rereading Bruce Catton's trilogy on the Civil War. Lasttime read it and hisother books was in the late '70s and early '80s. Great writer on the civil war, like Shelby Foote, James McPherson, and Michael Shaara.
