Callaghen is one that I've only read one or two times, and those times more than twenty years past. Released in 1972, it is well-crafted.
It's a very thoughtful and thought-provoking read. I'm up to Chapter Thirteen, and enjoying it immensely. It reveals LL's affinity for the desert, his appreciation and understanding of tactics and the Wars of the late 1840s/1850s, and the dynamics of personality clashes.
Callaghen is portrayed as a "patient" Irishman... which is to say, he tries to be patient, but foolish men just won't let him be.
