The author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Battle Cry of Freedom and the New York Times bestsellers Crossroads of Freedom and Tried by War, among many other award-winning books, James M. McPherson is America's preeminent Civil War historian. In this collection of provocative and illuminating essays, McPherson offers fresh insight into many of the enduring questions about one of the defining moments in our nation's history.McPherson sheds light on topics large and small, from the average soldier's avid love of newspapers to the postwar creation of the mystique of a Lost Cause in the South. Readers will find insightful pieces on such intriguing figures as Harriet Tubman, John Brown, Jesse James, and William Tecumseh Sherman, and on such vital issues as Confederate military strategy, the failure of peace negotiations to end the war, and the realities and myths of the Confederacy. This Mighty Scourge includes several never-before-published essays--pieces on General Robert E. Lee's goals in the Gettysburg campaign, on Lincoln and Grant in the Vicksburg campaign, and on Lincoln as Commander-in-Chief. All of the essays have been updated and revised to give the volume greater thematic coherence and continuity, so that it can be read in sequence as an interpretive history of the war and its meaning for America and the world.
Combining the finest scholarship with luminous prose, and packed with new information and fresh ideas, this book brings together the most recent thinking by the nation's leading authority on the Civil War.

I wonderfully versatile athletically fitting summer polo
Color: Lightbluedot, Size: Small
Don't really have any down sides on this polo. It's lightweight yet surprisingly wind resistant, even on cooler days im not losing all my body heat at the slightest breeze. It feels more like a cotton blend while performing like a polyester with the stretch and drying performance. The fit is very athletic, with just enough room in the chest and shoulders while hugging close to the midsection. This polo is quality both in looks, with the collar holding shape and appearance, the faux chest pocket ups the look of the shirt without being a clunky piece with a pocket that bunches up.
Im thrilled with this polo and am buying more colors to have variety with this shirt. Wonderful wonderful value for the money if you're looking for a versatile close fitting shirt without hindering mobility

Great shirt with a couple of very insignificant flaws
Color: Bluedotwhite, Size: Small, Color: Bluedotwhite, Size: Small
Stylish, breathable, great fit, vibrant color, nice attention to detail with the colorway. Check out my photos for a look at the way the pocket colors and fabrics match that of the collar button, and the tiny perforations in the main fabric that allow you to stay cool in this shirt. There are a couple of spots where you can see flaws, but they're not significant enough to me to deduct a star. The flaws are the thread sticking out of the button, and how the collar has a bit of an indentation in it and isn't totally level smooth. It's hard to figure out how to iron the collar without creasing it in a bad location, so this is the way it looks after ironing with my best effort.
All in all, as I've found with the Alex Vando brand, I enjoy their polo/golf shirts a lot - the fit, look, pretty much everything.

Comfortable summer wear. Runs a little big and long
Color: Blueoval, Size: Small, Color: Blueoval, Size: Small
This is a very comfortable polo. I can tell from the features that the shirt is pretty much designed for golf.
- Very light weight like tees for runners. It is see through if not for the printed pattern.
- Definitely breathable, perfect for dry weather region. Will keep you dry throughout the round and does not cling onto the body to inhibit motion. Structure stays crisp throughout the round.
- Stretchable, does not restrict motion during golf, sweat or not.
- Longer length to stay tuck in.
Note:
- It runs big overall. The model shown is 6’1” and he is wearing a Medium. Seeing that, I bought a Small even though I normally wear medium. It fits my upper body perfectly with a little room to spare.
- It also runs a little long. It will definitely stay tucked in throughout the round. However, it is too long for me to wear it untucked. I am 5’ 8”.
Overall I like the shirt’s quality and a reasonable price for a golf shirt. It would have been perfect had it not been a little long for untuck wear.

Stylish, Comfortable, and Very Versatile Shirt
Color: Navygeometry, Size: Medium, Color: Navygeometry, Size: Medium
This is a very nice‑looking shirt and it fits perfectly for my size. The design really stands out, and the blue color with the white accents looks sharp and clean without being too bold.
The collar and buttons are good quality and add a nice, finished touch to the shirt. It feels well made and holds its shape nicely when worn. Comfort is another big plus—it’s comfortable enough to wear without an undershirt, which is great for warmer days.
What I really like is how versatile it is. You can easily dress it up for business casual with a sport coat, wear it with khakis or jeans, as well as for golfing. It works well in a lot of different settings without looking out of place.
It comes in at a good price point for the quality, and it would make a nice gift as well. Overall, a great‑looking, comfortable shirt that offers excellent value and flexibility.

Comfortable Polo Shirt
Color: Lightbluedot, Size: X-Large, Color: Lightbluedot, Size: X-Large
This shirt arrived quickly, and was vacuum wrapped (see photo). The sizing was appropriate, and the fit is comfortable. It still looks great after a few times through the wash. Recommended.
