Here it is. I don’t mind admitting that Little House on the Prairie is still one of my favorite re-runs. You also love it, but just won’t admit it.

"In this stunning and well-researched book, Kevin Levin catches the new waves of the study of memory, black soldiers, and the darker underside of the Civil War as well as anyone has... Levin is both superb scholar and public historian, showing us a piece of the real war that does now get into the books, as well as into site interpretation."
David Blight, Author of Race and Reunion

Kevin,
Distinction: I loved the ~books~ as a kid, but never liked the show. In fact, it may have been the difference between the two that originated a feeling in me that persists to this day: I hate tv knock-offs of my favorite books. To wit, I love Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, but still find it hard to admire Peter Jackson’s stunning work—and I even own those movies. Just the other day I was watching Fellowship and couldn’t help silently picking apart the movie. Anyway, I’m sure Dean Butler’s blog is just fine, but…

Hey Brooks, thanks for destroying my innocent memories of childhood.
Hey Kevin … after all you’ve done to denigrate “The Land We Love,” I needed to return the favor.
Clever reference Brooks. I guess I had it coming.
