I am reading the novel Killer Angels by Micheal Shaara based on the Battle of Gettysburg and it is soooo good. It is historical fiction that strives to be as accurate as possible. The chapters are from different significant people's perspectives.

I've read the first three sections plus a little bit more so far!

Okokok I love it how this book focuses on the people rather than just the battle it portrays. The inner monologues are golden. I LOVE getting the inner feelings of historical figures, it's like reading letters in the form of a novel. Chamberlain and Longstreet's conflicting feelings really illustrate historical views and how people dealt with them.

It is a crime that Fremantle has only one chapter because half of it is like "I'm Bri'ish and drink tea and am fancy" and it's so fun to read. Longstreet and he kinda have a friendship and it's honestly so sweet. They are each other's comfort person.

Joshua and Tom's relationship as brothers is so fun, honestly a good choice of people to focus on. Their relationship reminds me of the meme with the speech bubbles where a person is having some sort of crisis and the other is singing Reeces Puffs (Tom is singing Reeces Puffs).

There is a lot of social history and culture of the era in the book. It is really rewarding to know some of the history. There are historical references in the book that have me going wild. This book gives such a realistic feeling. Of course there is a lot of general stuff, but many small specifics, too, that are easy to miss if you aren't well versed in Civil War history. I really like that the author makes sure to give a background on the most important historical figures in the foreward.

Though it's a war novel like All Quiet on the Western Front, it is much les depressing and I really enjoy the perspectives and characters in it!

I cannot recommend this book enough. Even if you aren't a huge Civil War fan but just like history, I recommend it! AND the movie Gettysburg is based on it. It is a treat to have a good book and a good movie (the book is better though because of inner dialogue).

If you are not convinced yet, there is dialogue about something like a 19th century version of kissing the homies goodnight lol

Ok my happy rant is over. Thank you for indulging me XD

I will probably post again when I finish it hehe

The Barbie movie is sooooo good

I love the horse stuff. I imagine this is how cavalry is.

I love the Ken arc. They are (K)enough.

AISUCBHIUASBHCIASB THIS IS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST THINGS I'VE READ IN A BOOK (Grant by...Ron Chernow)

I never knew they met but I'm so glad they did. Canon interaction between faves 🫶

WHY IS THE DIALOGUE LIKE THAT?!?!? IT'S LIKE CHERNOW IS WRITING WATTPAD FANFICTION.

WHY DOESN'T IT SAY IF HE ATE IT OR NOT! I WILL JUST ASSUME HE DID BECAUSE IT'S SILLY!

THIS IS LIKE A CROSS BETWEEN A PRANK AND GENUINE ADVICE. If anyone was to be pranked by Grant I find it absolutely hilarious that it's Pickett. 😭😭😭

udbcfiuwebdfciw knowing Pickett was an idiot (affectionate), he probably ate it. As a white southerner he probably thought he was dying, like when Aaron Burr got a brain-freeze oiwrfnisdf. I just imagine him standing there, suffering djabciaudbfaed.

This scene keeps playing in my head

Pickett: I-I'm going t-to freeze to d-death Grant: Oh no you don't *feeds him a pepper* Pickett: *collapses, coughing* Grant: *looks into camera smirking*

Grant:

This paragraph has changed my life. I will never ever sleep soundly again.

Both of them 🫶

#I can't sleep because of this#it's so funny I have to share it with everyone#enjoy#ulysses s grant#us grant#george pickett#mexican american war#american civil war

Imagine the history community if this happened 😭. Everyone would be looking for their favs, or might even be them.

That poor soul who is Hamilton would never have a day of peace again.
