[...] [Note: I am not sharing a lot of citations as I am in the process of writing an article on Fort Blakely. I have already extensively researched this battle due to the involvement of the 11th Wisconsin, whom I wrote about several years ago.] [...]

Congrats indeed. The most important thing is, the effort now exists for future historians to access (while you get an occaisional check!) Myself, I’m hoping to break 100 copies soon (not counting the ones I’ve bought, of course…)

Thanks Brett! With a $45 price tag and being an obscure regiment, I never really considered that it would sell. Now, I did have a marketing campaign that included 120+ flyers mailed to virtually every significant library in Wisconsin, and that seems to have helped.

Congratulations Chris! I really enjoyed the book and I thought you did a great job. The fact that the 11th participated in some lesser-known battles also made it interesting.
