I desperately wanted to, but was already scheduled to speak at a Civil War conference yesterday and could not be in two places at once, as much as I...
Welcome aboard, Michael. We're happy to have you here. Enjoy your time. We don't have as much traffic as I'd like, but we do have some pretty good...
I read that book a couple of weeks ago as part of my background work on the Battle of Camden. You're right--it's an excellent overview of the British...
Mike, I have. It's really an outstanding tactical study, something that was LONG overdue. Eric
I hope that you enjoy it. Between JD and me, we have close to thirty years' worth of accumulated research, and I hope it shows. Eric

Hugh, He did, in fact, write an account of the fight. It's his report to the Virginia legislature dated June 2, 1780. I have a copy of it and will...
I'm in the midst of writing an article on the Battle of Waxhaws that will appear in the May/June issue of the magazine Patriots of the American...
I wanted to take a moment to wish each and every one of you a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year. 2010 has to be better than 2009, which, I...
