The Killer Angels Part 1

Wow...I am really glad I read BCoF first. Killer Angels is almost like a beach book in comparison!
I am enjoying getting to know the characters that played such a role in the Civil War. I like how the book switches perspectives. It really gives the reader a feel for how each side approached the war. I didn't know that Lee had heart problems and was weak during Gettysburg. I am amazed that he could lead an army, live in a tent, ride a horse, endure the heat, and have health issues. On page 88 he had a tightening of the chest and then he grabbed his arm. I wonder if he was having a small heart attack. He must have had a lot of pain tolerance and determination to continue. He was an amazing man.
