Took me 6 weeks. A bit of a slog sometimes but I did learn a lot. I was pretty ignorant regarding the Western theater other than Vicksburg. I vastly underestimated the size of the Battle of Chickamauga. Some of the battle stories were like something out of Greek mythology with all the drama and reversals of fortune.
Taking a break before I start Volume 3 even though I found Volume 2 very rewarding.
