Bruce Catton. On The Authors List with 8 books I've read. As an adolescent kid and early teenager I was obsessed with reading about the Civil War. I think it was all the TV shows, magazines, and books at that time documenting the 100 year anniversaries of the battles and events of the war that went on for several years from 1961 to 1965. In 1962 I first read Catton's overview of the war from 1960 book titled the American Heritage History of The Civil War and then over the next few years I read his Centennial History of the Civil War trilogy. Then 20 years later in 1984 to 1986 I read them again along with four other of his books on the war including another trilogy.
Over the years according to my Goodreads app data categories I've read 35 books about the Civil War including novels. Most were from the mid 80's to the late 90's.
