Sorry to see that Shelby Foote has died. Wrote mainly history, most famous for his Civil War work (War Between the States, for those of us who grew up south of the Mason-Dixon Line), did a notable stint in the Ken Burns mini-series on that subject.

He was a hell of a readable writer, turned true history into work that read like a thrilling historical novel. We need more of that class.
