Sir:

Apparently you have read my book because I no where mention Edwards in my emails. You need to be specific, where did you read that I glorified Edwards and in what specific terms? If I remember right, I use Edwards in my book only when he refers to WHY the Guerrillas fought, which he is very intelligent about. The rest of his book is largely hearsay and I use none of it in my book but found better sources for solid, accurate information. So don't put words in another person's mouth. It might incline those reading you to question your veracity. Or tell me specifically how I glorify Edwards. I don't think you can. Because he was Gen. Jo Shelby's executive officer and knew the guerrillas personally, he knew quite about them. And he certainly understood the war better than some yahoo.
