Shelby Foote - RIP



Civil War historian Shelby Foote has passed away at the age of 88.

Foote's history of the Civil War is on my list of "must read" books and I feel his passing even more this time of year as we are about to reach the 142nd anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg in the next few days.

Foote is survived by his wife Gywn, daughter Margaret Shelby and son Huger Lee.
