That is high praise indeed coming from Davis. <br /><br />I'm always fascinated to read more about the charge of the VMI cadets. I know they weren't the only unit there but I find their actions at the battle so darn fascinating. <br /><br />One question, does Col.

It is interesting to hear William Davis thinks this is one of the best dozen published campaign studies. It would be intersting to hear what titles are on that list. <br /><br />Savas Beatie continues to provide wonderful Civil War titles. Their atlas series is great and appears to be continuing.
