The nice thing about historical books, if you find a good author they can put you right there on the spot.
Oh yeah. I have books like that, you just can't put them down.
Have you ever read "Blood and Thunder" by Hampton Sides ?
An excellent book Bonny. I'm about half way thru it.
Anyway, we'd best get off the topic of books, some may think we are illiterate or something.
