New year, new project. This year I'm planning to deep dive into ACW games to consider how the represent history and the influence of the Lost Cause. I've got some initial reading and a small stack of games to try but would love recommendations for more of either.

@DrCrossbows in addition to McPherson's "Battle Cry of Freedom" which I have on my shelf, but have yet to read, I also have...

Bruce Catton's "Civil War" which compiles the 3-vol Army of the Potomac trilogy.

Shelby Foote's "Civil War" trilogy (they really don't try on the naming here).
