"Best Civil War Books of  2019"

Very happy to share that The Fight For the Old North State will be recognized by The Civil War Monitor magazine as one of The Best Civil War Books of 2019 in the upcoming December issue. Over on Twitter (@hamptonnewsome), the editors at the magazine previewed this year's list and spilled the beans. I want to thank everyone who helped with the book, especially Joyce Harrison and the great staff at University Press of Kansas.

Thanks to the Petersburg CWRT

Thanks so much to Tim Talbott and the Petersburg Civil War Roundtable. I had a great time on Thursday speaking to this relatively new group about Richmond Must Fall: The Richmond-Petersburg Campaign, October 1864. If you live anywhere near Petersburg, you should really check it out. Next meeting is Dec. 5 (Stephen Davis will be speaking about the Atlanta Campaign).
