Query: Blood of Our Alumni is dull reading

Blood of our Alumni, filled with facts on Norwich University Civil War history, is plodding reading. The author simply lacks the writing skills necessary to make history exciting. Also, the books is short on information about the university's men who served in Confederate ranks. This is a good book to take to bed late at night, if you can't sleep. Soon you will be snoring.
