Well this is a little upsetting. I noticed last week that a fellow blogger posted the complete transcript of a letter from a soldier in the 11th Wisconsin that was part of my research for my book that I posted here on this blog. Not sure why Civil War blogger Kraig McNutt grabbed it and posted it in its entirety on his site, Civil War Gazette, without proper citation? A mistake, doubtful. While doing so he even took some of my comments and did so in a manner that suggests they are his! I posted last week on his site requesting such a citation, but never received a response. We all make mistakes, but this is irksome!

I have no idea where I got the letter transcription so I’d be happy to remove the post if you’d like. Let me know.

No, as I said, I don’t care about posting transcriptions and such, even from other sites – I do it all the time, just credit the source. I understand we all make mistakes; I have myself. I could not find your email on your site and I posted a comment without response. That is all and that is the only reason I posted this.
