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.
