TRP and American Civil War

[Smoke Teff]

Soliciting recommendations for Pynchon-related lines of inquiry into the
AmCivWar.

I find myself in the position of making a living by doing the homework of a
friend of mine--heir to a huge aluminum fortune in Saudi Arabia, ostensibly
taking classes at a city college but really just enjoying the pleasures of
a major 2017 metropolis. He is taking a class on the Civil War. There is a
research paper involved. You get to pick the topic. If I can combine it
with some Pynchon reading that'd be cool.

Can't think of any obvious Pynchon digressions into Civil War type stuff
off the top of my head, assume there must be some.
