In 2023, McFarland published Ralph Lindeman's
Confederates from Canada: John Yates Beall and the Rebel Raids on the Great Lakes and LSU Press released William Harris's
Confederate Privateer: The Life of John Yates Beall. Sometime this year, we'll get yet another Beall biography in Ken Lizzio's
John Yates Beall, Son of the South: The Life and Death of a Confederate Privateer.
It's not terribly unusual to have two books on the very same subject pop up at roughly the same time (such instances are frequently brought up on this site), but it is pretty remarkable for three biographies of a comparatively obscure Civil War figure to emerge in such close succession. Getting two from the same publisher (Lizzio's upcoming book will also be published by McFarland) is surprising, too.
