:'(R.I.P. Mr. Foote. He died today after a long period of failing health. We will miss him greatly in the American history circles, especially the Civil War arena, but his fantastic works will live for as long as the world remains.

Did you know that he wrote his famous 3 volume narrative by hand with an old fashioned hand-dipped ink pen? It was 3,000 total pages and took him 30 years to complete it!!

Would like to see a sample. Following protocol his penmanship must have been exceptional.
