(SIDE NOTE: did you know that the night after Shiloh, when the wounded men lay in the swampy battlefield and waited for death, their wounds began to give off a phosphorescent gleam? The current theory why this happened is "bioluminescent nematodes." Does this come up in the book? YES OBVIOUSLY. Well not the nematode part, but otherwise.)

YES! I remember reading about that for the first time. I am so glad it is in your book

Congratulations on the first draft. I am always in favor of more people talking about the things wrong with Andrew Johnson.
