A while back (within two years, I believe it was an issue or two after the magazine came back from hiatus), there was a North & South article about some battles around Charleston. The author bio mentioned the writer was working on a history of the Department of the South. I lost my note on it. Can anyone with back issues handy help me out with the author's name, school affiliation, etc.? Thanks!
[UPDATE: Thanks to David Woodbury, I found the citation online : W. Robert Beckman and Sharon S. MacDonald, “Foster’s A Humbug: Attack on Charleston” North and South: The Magazine of the Civil War Society, Vol. 11: No. 5 (October 2009).]
Please delete if this is my 2nd try at responding. Couldn't tell if the first one "took."
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have that issue of N&S, but it sounds like maybe you're referring to the "Heroism at Honey Hill," article, which was in the Department of the South.
North South Magazine (Vol. 12 - No.1) Feb, 2010, Pages 20 -41
Authors Sharon S. MacDonald, Illinois State University, and one of her students, W. Robert Beckman, a high school history teacher.
Thanks David. I think that might be the one.
ReplyDeleteYour first try at commenting indeed did not make it through. I always wonder how many comments I miss to Blogger software glitches. Many people have mentioned frustration in getting comments to 'take'.
David,
ReplyDeleteAfter googling the names I found that the authors are correct but the article was "Foster's A Humbug: Attack on Charleston" Vol. 11 #5 from 2009.
Hi Drew -- well your memory about the Charleston part was spot on.
ReplyDeleteThe problem with posting comments -- I've noticed -- comes when you're asked to select a service with which to sign in (e.g., your Google account). A message says you'll be asked to sign in after you post your reply. The message then disappears when you hit "submit," but the remaining comment pop-up window isn't large enough to show you the sign-in area. You have to scroll right to see that, which is the final step.
If you're not thinking about it, once your reply is fired off, you can sometimes reflexively just close that window without realizing it was waiting for more info.
