Your essay has me choked up. The way you tell the story is in such detail, and so moving, that I feel as if I am there. What a completely heartbreaking thing -- for the entire nation, as Chamberlain said -- that President Lincoln was murdered. I learned about his successor, about whom I knew very little. And your telling of the story of Lincoln's dream (I'd heard before that he'd dreamed his death, but never any of the details) was terrifying to read. I have lived in Charleston for over 40 years. Never once have I heard about the removal of the Confederate flag, and it's replacement by the U.S. flag -- let alone the fact that it occurred the day of Lincoln's assassination. The irony is astounding. Thank you for including me in your new substack. I am so impressed. I hope that more people will read what you write.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I do work hard to bring different insights and connections in order to bring the event to life. I too hope others will start reading my work here. Thank you again and have a great weekend.
I looked up your book at Amazon, and am so impressed by the reviews! I just ordered a copy. The combination of your expertise fascinates me. I am so glad that students at the Joint Forces Staff College had the opportunity of studying under your guidance. I hope that you're having a great weekend, too! It's 73 degrees, sunny and bright, no humidity here in Charleston today. My second day out in the garden, and it feels like Heaven!
Thank you again. I hope that you enjoy and learn from the book. It was a labor of love. I am hoping to get an event at the new Civil Rights Museum in Charleston in the Summer. Peace.

By the way it was 81 and sunny here in Norfolk today. A bit unseasonable for us.
We keep lucking out on the good weather here!
