Well, yeah. I get that (about Antietam and Gettysburg) but I see how confusion arises about what people mean. I guess whether the statement is true or not would depend on what 2 hourses (ha) are being compared...that kind of statistic always seems suspect to me anyway--as if someone was standing counting corpes with a stop watch in hand. ffft.

About the book: I thought the story was devastatingly awful--as it should be. I knew it was based on a real guy at the get-go.

I'm not a huge Paulsen fan style-wise, but it bothered me less here probably because the book is so short.

moo (again)
