Review: A Little Short of Boats by James Morgan III

[cwmackowski]

With the 151st anniversary of the Battle of Ball’s Bluff coming up, I wanted to take a minute to plug James Morgan’s fantastic little book about the battle, A Little Short of Boats: The Battles of Balls’ Bluff & Edwards Ferry, October 21-22, 1861. I’ve written before about the huge impact of this little battle, and last year, I was lucky enough to have Jim show me around the battlefield. He’s a man who not only knows his stuff, but he’s passionate in the way he shares it. A Little Short of Boats is a tale well told.
