A Nice Review of my Book: 11th Wisconsin in the Civil War

I received a surprise email from the publicist at McFarland that a new review of my book, The 11th Wisconsin in the Civil War: A Regimental History, McFarland & Co. (Fall 2008) recently came out, which was a surprise as the book has been out for almost 2 years! Anyway the magazine is Blue & Gray and the reviewer is David Powell who looked at three regimental histories and I thought he had some great comments about regimental histories. I think they are still very vital to Civil War memory, understanding and most certainly scholarship, it just depends on the quality. As Mr. Powell noted, for historical purposes even a very basic regimental history can offer some value. Anyway, to the top right is a sample of the review and if you wish to read the whole review you will have to get their latest issue.

  2. Chris,
    That elapsed time is pretty common for mags and journals, so don’t be surprised if you see even more of them.
