Comments: The first two books in the list are out already. Of the Jayhawker (un)holy trinity of Lane, Montgomery, and Jennison, only Lane has one or more modern, full-length biography [though there are unit histories of Lane's Kansas Brigade (see Benedict's Jayhawkers: The Civil War Brigade of James Henry Lane) and Jennison's Seventh Kansas Cavalry (see Starr's Jennison's Jayhawkers) that have significant biographical content on their leaders], so Conner's book should fill in a part of that gap. There are a pair of Longstreet studies with similar themes coming out this year, and it appears that Toretta's will cross the finish line first.
1 - These monthly release lists are not meant to be exhaustive compilations of non-fiction releases. They do not include non-revised/expanded reprints of previously published books, special editions not distributed to reviewers, and digital-only titles. Works that only tangentially address the war years are also generally excluded. Inevitably, one or more titles on this list will get a rescheduled release (and they do not get repeated later), so revisiting the past few "Coming Soon" posts is the best way to pick up stragglers.
