Hi Don,
ReplyDeleteGlad you could find this place and visit. Quite frankly, I haven't heard any buzz about any of those guys. Since Cozzens did that Pope book he's been busy editing collections of Indian Wars eyewitness accounts and at least one new Battles and Leaders volume. Whether he has plans for more original works along the line of his previous western CW battles books, I have no idea. According to Eric on his CW Discussion Group, Rhea's fifth and final volume in the series will be written after a current project (what it is I don't know) is finished.
