Always a pleasure. A talk from Matt is unlike any other. In presentations from other historians, you may get from Point A to Point D a lot quicker, but with Matt, it's the journey that counts. Both approaches are fine, but with Matt, I always feel like I'm traveling with a friend.

Fantastic presentation, and also glad to see Matt talking about Vicksburg. A welcome digression from all the Gettysburg content. <br>Matt’s closing monologue on Grant is incredible and very emotional. Thanks Matt, for teaching us all, and stuffwriter for making it possible for all of us (virtually) attend.

This is like medicine, Matt heals. His lectures must be preserved for posterity. Mobile phone camera, Matt speaking, sounds of nature and atmosphere of night falling, all better than 90% of high end YouTube or TV production. <br> <br>Knowledgeable healing spirit, a good (great) communicator, good technical medium to translate it, good will on afficionado's (translator's) part - all one needs to have a slice of peace on Earth.

I love the wood thrush serenade (my favorite songbird) through so much of the talk

I was born in Vicksburg and grew up in Port Gibson . I knew bits and pieces about the battle but this was a great presentation and now I know the full story. According to an account of why my home town wasn’t burned is because Grant said it was too beautiful to burn
