Comments: Hartwig's long-anticipated Maryland Campaign V2 was released a month early. Nice. Thanks to all who preordered through the site. Some of you might even have it in hand already. I should have mine by the middle of next week. The Rable and Bearss/Powell titles have also grabbed my interest. Ed Bearss's Forrest at Brice's Crossroads, published by Morningside (1979, R-1987), has a Tupelo Campaign-focused middle section that was presumably closely based on the author's earlier government work published as The Tupelo Campaign, June 22-July 23. A Documented Narrative & Troop Movement Maps (Washington, 1969). It sounds like Powell and publisher SB are resurrecting the original manuscript in newly augmented fashion.
1 - These monthly release lists are not meant to be exhaustive compilations of non-fiction releases. They do not include reprints that are not significantly revised/expanded, 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.
