Chin Music from a Greyhound Robert Talbott

Chin music: A nineteenth-century term to describe the act of talking too much, as in babbling. Greyhound: A member of Dickson Stauffer's Missouri Foot Cavalry of the early 1980s. This memoir continues the adventures of a middle-aged Missourian who was part of the strange yet fascinating world of Civil War reenacting. In volume 2, Robert tells of a trip to Gettysburg, another movie, the coldest event ever attended, a brief tenure as an officer, a trip to Red River, and a handful of other amusements. As with the previous book, volume 2 is loaded with personal anecdotes and humor.
