New to the Civil War Memory Library, 10/20

Update: Last week I received my author copy of Upon the Fields of Battle: Essays on the Military History of America’s Civil War (Louisiana State University Press, 2018) edited by Andrew Bledsoe and Andrew Lang. Included is my essay on Confederate military executions in addition to chapters by Earl Hess, Andrew Bledsoe, Andrew Lang, Ken Noe, Jennifer Murray, John Hennessy, Brian McKnight, Brian Jordan, and Robert Glaze. Highly recommended.

    Two of these are on my wishlist – the only question is whether I can wait til Christmas to get them. I doubt it …
