Give Coco's book a read if you find the time. Most books don't really touch on what the aftermath of these enormously destructive slug-fests were like for the civilian populations that were left to pick up the pieces.

We took a two week road trip through part of the southeast last year, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Virginia, North and South Carolina, the Savannah corner of Georgia...what beautiful country. It sounds from your profile like you are a Seattle girl who fell in love with Alabama. I've driven through the state twice, but never really spent time there.
