A great resource, but the list arrangement is not very helpful -- the
BERTRAND report is listed alphabetically under the first word in the
title, "the." Similarly, several of Ed Bearss' famous ACW studies are
listed under E, for Edwin. You almost have to use your browser's search
function to find the keyword you're looking for.

Reminds me of my local bookstore, where the staff insists on sorting
biographies alphabetically by the author's name, rather than by the
subject of the work.

Happy New Year to all!
