Confederates in the Attic: Dispatches from the Unfinished Civil War by Tony Horwitz

4.0

I learned a ton, was very impressed by the depth of his research, and enjoyed the sprinkling of humor.

Excellent words:
Fulsome — excessively flattering or insincerely earnest / copious or abundant
Redoubt — a small, often temporary defense fortification
Abrogate — to abolish, do away with, or annul
Ersatz — bring an unusually inferior imitation or substitute / fake or artificial
Hoary — gray or white as if with age / hackneyed / no longer funny or meaningful due to repetition / so old as to inspire veneration
Peripatetic — one who walks about from place to place
