New Book on My Nightstand (Legal Cases of the Civil War)

I actually was loaned this book from a local judge who was kind enough to share it. It's interesting from a historical perspective (leaving aside the legal aspect). The book focuses on the Supreme Court during the years of our Civil War. It's one area of history that I previously hadn't even really thought about. However, the more I think about it, the more interesting it seems. (Yeah, nerd-alert, I know...)

Can you imagine what it was like for a Supreme Court Justice from Georgia to continue to serve, all while the civil war was ongoing?

I'll have a full report when I finish.
