IN THE MAIL: Eric Flint's new alt-history novel, 1824: The Arkansas War.
It's the second installment to his alternate history where the War of 1812 went differently. I'm enjoying Sam Houston's prominent role -- since Sam was a Maryvillian, like me, I heard a lot about him when I was younger. Though I don't remember hearing much talk about his fondness for whiskey and large knives. . . .
