The start of the school year has brought with it a good deal of action on the book front. I hope to be sharing more soon, but here is some news on Rebel Bulldog:
Last week, I was notified by the IHS that they had received a review from the Federation of Genealogical Societies FGS Forum. It read in part: "At first glance a reader would believe this book to be a collection of letters pertaining to a family, with some filler to describe how they fit into the Civil War. The reader would be mistaken, but I believe they would be most delighted in what they find instead . . . In the end, this is a very well-written book that was quite a delight to read." I am, of course, quite glad to read the glowing review, and happy as well to see the book reaching a broad audience.
Speaking of audience, tonight I had the pleasure of talking about Rebel Bulldog to the Madison County Historical Society's Civil War Roundtable. There was a nice turnout and some good questions from the group. My thanks to Gerald Jones for the invitation to speak up in Anderson.
And in another update, I've started work on my next book, which will look at the Brown family, Butler University, and the Great War!
