Thank you as well Melani!

Joe, isn't the RCOI transcripts I found at www.loc.gov/rr/frd/Military_Law/Reno_court_inquiry.html complete? It was supervised by Graham, and thought it was.

[tbw]

Yup, its complete! It was online elsewhere at one time, but they took it off, I guess. I didn't know of this site. Thanks.

[joewiggs]

Right Cutter and thanks, it is complete. I would also like to have a cheap paper back to carry with me when I'm away from the computer and need to look something up.

Joe, if I remember correctly, the BF edition they carried at the battlefield was both hardback and paperback. I bought the paperback because it was cheaper. But... It was big! It's probably a couple of inches thick, but no larger than a standard sized hardbound book in dimension - (length and width). The main problem i've found with the paper bound volume is it tends to become "unbound", because the pages are just glued and because its so thick, once one starts to bend it in the wrong place or crease it, as it were, it tends to make those parts of the book binding weak. If I were you, I'd buy the hard bound edition and hope for the best, last I knew it was pretty expensive, but well worth it. Well, that's my opinion anyway...

I just bought a book titled, "Horse Soldiers" by Doug Stanton. Now before you run right out and buy it, you should know... Its a 'true life' story about a small band of special forces who were secreted into Afghanistan following 9/11 and rode on horseback to fight against the Taliban.

So far it's pretty darn good! And i'd highly recommend it to anyone who thinks that 'horse warfare' died out with Custer's Last Stand. I'm really enjoying it. I usually don't buy too many books, usually because they cost so darn much, but I got this at Wally World for just under 11.

Excellent! I just bought Horse Soldiers as a present for my husband--I guess I'll have to swipe it and read it myself.

[tbw]

It is well worth the read. I haven't finished it yet, but it is very good!

Still a good read, and lots of good information told with a certain style most of us tend to ignore

[Cutter]

Anyone read James Donovan's "A Terrible Glory: Custer and the Little Bighorn: The Last Great Battle of the American West"

[joewiggs]

Cutter, I read it and I give it five big, stars. One of the best books about the battle I have ever read. If you don't buy another book get this one1 Please!

YOU MUST BUY THIS BOOK!

[Cutter]

Will do.
Drat, can't make it do that cool marque thing.

[joewiggs]

LOL! What makes this so funny is that I'm a computer DUMMY! I found this by mistake. When you reply look for the "M" on the board above and have fun! ;D ;D ;D

[Cutter]

I've done some study on the history of RCOI, seems to be more involved then just being "complete."

What y'all think of-
