I'm reading Guadalcanal Diary right now as research for the 'Bama boys and it mentions the attack on and subsequent scuttling of the George F. Elliott, which is the ship that carried Leckie et. al. to Guadalcanal in the first place, and the history nerd in me continues to think it's so cool to have all these differing, often first-hand perspectives of the same events. It adds a certain robustness to my personal understanding of the "canon," such as it is, that it's impossible to replicate outside of historical fandoms.
