Colonel Elmer Ellsworth was the first Union officer to die in the American Civil War. No new biography of his life has been published since 1960--so I am writing one.

the first
I have finished the first revision of "Interregnum," the chapter where Lincoln travels from Springfield to Washington for the Inauguration. I think it is much better, and the mental images are much more clear. I used the picture in the last post--from this morning--to describe Hay and Nicolay, and I put EE in uniform. That may change, as I have no real idea what he wore. so--I will reread it tomorrow, and see if I did OK. Good night, all. (Like there is an "all.")
