Hi Drew
ReplyDeleteVolume 1 of Dave Powell's Chickamauga does look impressive.

Hi Drew, all. Thanks for noting David's new Chickamauga study.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite campaigns (from Tullahoma, its true prelude, to the hills of Chattanooga), helping him edit and arrange it was a real pleasure. He does such good work and is so knowledgeable and easy to work with. DP treats the battle as a three-day affair, and he is correct in my opinion. I hope everyone enjoys it. We took a lot of extra time and effort to format a handsome book that should also stand the test of time. On to Part II. And Part III. Oh my.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Have a peaceful day with your family and friends and be thankful for all you have.
