One of the strengths of the NG in the past several days has been that with a few exceptions posters have stayed on-topic and discussed -- horrors -- the Civil War. There's been much less flaming, and that's due in part to some people not being here.
I realize that some people aren't happy unless the NG's about them or unless they are flaming. Let's try not to encourage the usual dysfunctionality. Thanks. :)

A serious scholarly biography of Adelbert Ames. Not so much for his Civil War service (which would be interesting enough), but for Reconstruction and after.
The definitive interpretative biography of Martin Robison Delany (1812-1885), probably second only to Frederick Douglass as the most influential African-American in the Civil War era--a medical doctor after a stint at Harvard Med School, Delany was an antislavery activist, newspaperman, colonizationist, the highest ranking field officer of acknowledged African descent (Colonel of the 104th USCT) during the Civil War, and a Reconstruction politician who came to grief in the murky political situation that was postwar South Carolina. Although a lot has been written about him, the last good study is over thirty years old. His writings are still read, and are worth reading.

You're right, but my question stands--what corrections?

A summary and analysis of "lost and captured" orders like the (in)famous Special Order Number 191 that led to Sharpsburg.
I want more than the mere description of who found it and passed it along to McClellan. I want as much background and analysis as possible on *how* the orders got lost or stolen as well as how the event impacted the campaign.
Presumably, there were a number of other lost or stolen orders that had similar impact throughout the war. For example, IRC, Pope was in a dangerous position between the Rappahannock and Rapidan rivers where he could have been attacked from the west by Lee and forced to back into the fork of the two rivers that were in high water at the time, but he was alerted to the trap by lost of stolen orders.

According to Brent Nosworthy in "The Bloody Crucible of Courage", the US Chief of Ordinance, James W Ripley, was the main problem. He thought that the soldiers would use up all their ammunition by firing to rapidly. Weight was also an issue with him, as both the Spencer and the Henry were 'magazine guns', with an additional 1-2 pounds added to the total carried by the soldier. The reliability of the cartridge itself was debated as well. Because of their fragility, they tended to deteriorate after hard marching, and so only small amounts would be distributed at a time. Cost was also a factor, naturally, as it was a Republican administration :-)
