My apologies for not
writing for so long but a lot has happened since I last penned anything. As a
soldier in the Civil War would write, “I set down, pen in hand to inform you
that I am still in the land of the living.”
1. Stand to It and Give Them Hell
has already gone into its second printing, which is genuinely amazing. At this
rate it will outsell Antietam: The
Soldiers” Battle.
2. I have been very busy selling books in
Gettysburg.
3. I
have just reviewed Eric J. Wittenberg’s “The
Devil’s to Pay” John Buford at Gettysburg: A History and Walking Tour (Savas
Beatie, 2014) and George Kimball, A
Corporal’s Story, Civil War Reflections of the Twelfth Massachusetts (University
of Oklahoma Press, 2014). I highly recommend both to anyone interested in new
and refreshing information about the Union cavalry at Gettysburg and the best
recollections of the 12th Massachusetts I have yet seen.
4. I
look forward to the talks, which I am giving this winter in Cleveland, OH and
Houston, TX and the book signings in Gettysburg during the Remembrance Day
celebrations.
5. I
am also engaging in a new research and writing project on a series of Civil War
battles in the East.
When things calm down after
November, I will devote more time to the blog.
Rather than continue babbling I
will bid you adieu until I really have something more earth-shaking to share.
