1.
New: "Days of Glory" by Larry J. Daniel: A review by Don Plezia (24 May 2004).
"There are many more incidents of these contortions of the truth or poor research by the Reverend Daniel. They are too many to refute individually, so I’ll leave it to the reader to question the need for this attempt to revise history."
2.
Essay Sheridan's Ride at Chickamauga
3.
Photos of "Thomaston" (Thomas's birthplace near Newsoms, VA) and Courtland where Thomas read law and clerked before going to West Point.  Also an essay "Bring Thomas Home."
