Comments: February's slate looks like a pretty good collection of Civil War and Civil War-adjacent releases. A very good-looking month for LSU. Only a handful of the January titles expected to make it my way did, so hopefully the rest of those will straggle in next month, too.
1 - These monthly release lists are not meant to be exhaustive compilations of non-fiction releases. They routinely do not include reprints that are not significantly revised/expanded, publisher exclusives, children's books, 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.
