Upcoming Honey Springs battle study

Advance notice of anthropologist/archaeologist William Lees's Honey Springs, Oklahoma: Historical Archaeology of a Civil War Battlefield (Sept '25) recently popped up. Needless to say, my interest was immediately piqued.

Readers who have been following this site over its nearly two decades of existence know what types of subject matter grab me most, and this one checks a lot of boxes for me. First off, the long-awaited return of Texas A&M University Press to a Civil War topic is worthy of celebration. Check. An original contribution to Trans-Mississippi theater military history (which has been languishing in recent years). Check. First book-length study of one of the most significant battles fought in Indian Territory. Check. Battlefield archaeology being a central component of the study. Check. All nice. I can hardly wait to get my hands on a copy of it.
