Shelby Foote - This guy's voice is music!

Post by DATo »

You may remember Shelby Foote as one of the historical consultants to appear on Ken Burns' amazing ten part PBS series on The Civil War.

Mr. Foote has passed away but this EXCELLENT interview remains and is a joy to experience both for the reader as well as the writer. It is a very, VERY interesting narrative told directly from the lips of one of America's best loved writers and historians. I could listen to this guy talk forever. His voice is a symphony to my ears; his knowledge, legendary; his advice, golden.

Hope you like it.
