His lecture was very interesting and mainly focused on the first half of General Price's 1864 Raid (also the subject of his book, Price's Lost Campaign.) But he also covered a bit of the last half of the raid, which will be covered in his upcoming book, The Collapse of Price's Raid.
He is also working on two other books on the Civil War. Unfortunately, I forgot to write down what they were where, but I remember that one of them is about the rise of Spiritualism / Mediums during the Civil War and afterwards in the USA. It might be interesting as I have read about this topic before this lecture. With the huge lost of lives which have never been at these levels before the Civil War in the USA, many of the families of lost soldiers turned to Mediums to have seances to talk with their lost loved ones. I wish I could remember what the other book was about.
