I provided him with some material on Dahlgren that made it into his book manuscript.

“Lincoln, Davis, and the Dahlgren Raid” by David E. Long
A leading Civil War scholar makes the case that Abraham Lincoln, to
promote the prospect of peace in 1864, conceived and authorized an
attempt on the life of Jefferson Davis, and young officer Ulric Dahlgren
was the agent he selected to carry out the mission.
Seriously though, like you guys – by the time my manuscripts are in the first (and definitely in the second) editing stages, I can’t even look at them anymore. Thank God for editors. I’ve read each of my books once through (from cover to cover) – exactly one time (after they went to press) and that was enough for me.

You old dog, you 🙂
