In memoriam: Archie
[image error]
Archie Goodwin a.k.a. Catzilla
March 2006 - February 21, 2025
We found Archie in our flowerbed in July 2006 when he was 4 months old. No idea where he came from. We never saw any sign of a mama cat or siblings. He had been out on his own for a while, judging by his parasite load and the other contents of his poop, but he was definitely not feral. So we adopted him.

| This book is about the first half of 1861. Lankford is interested in how the Civil War came to happen, and particularly interested in dismantling the idea that it was inevitable, or that it had to happen the way it did. It DIDN'T have to happen the w ...more | |

| This is a smart, funny, angry book about murder in ancient Rome, and about what counted as "murder" and what didn't. (Most of the anger comes from the fact that killing an enslaved person didn't count as murder.) It's "popular" history, but history t ...more | |

| This is a really excellent book that's kind of difficult to describe. It's partly about Stonewall Jackson and William Tecumseh Sherman, but it's mostly about how Americans in 1861-1865 understood the war they were fighting. Royster really digs into h ...more | |

My primary takeaway from this book is that Jefferson Davis was a pig-headed nightmare. This is a step-by-step recounting of the flight of the Confederate government from Richmond. William C. Davis's two principal characters are Jefferson Davis and Joh ...more |

| I wanted this book mostly because she has a long chapter on the Salem witch trials, but the whole thing was excellent. Puritans were obsessed with speech laws---who gets to say what to whom---so Kamensky has buckets of primary source material: trials ...more | |

| I like Allen C. Guelzo. He's a bit of an iconoclast,* he writes beautifully, and he has produced what seems to me a very even-handed and fair biography of Robert E. Lee (who himself never went by "Robert E. Lee"). Unlike Pryor in Reading the Man: A P ...more | |

| This book is uneven. Most of it is what the subtitle promises, a military history of the American Civil War, but at the end it devolves into a collection of random essays on the Civil War. I observe from the copyright page that "portions of this book ...more | |
“ 'In our inmost and secret heart, which you ask us to bare to you, we wish to banish them as we were banished, to a cold and lonely house, in the charge of a man who hated us. And we wish them trapped there as we were trapped.'
'You consider that unjust, Serenity?'
'We consider it cruel,' Maia said. 'And we do not think that cruelty is ever just.' ”
― The Goblin Emperor

“He remembered the moment when his thoughts had inverted themselves—that shift from not being able to please everyone to not trying—and the way that change had enabled him to see past the maneuverings and histrionics of the representatives to the deeper structures of the problem; it was the same with the Corazhas.”
