New book by John Hoptak
"Essential to every Civil War library, this lavish new atlas, though overly wordy, is beautifully illustrated."
- Mannie Gentile
Okay, that's a joke. John asked me to do the six maps for his new book. It was a real privilege to be associated with such a first-rate scholar of the Civil War as John Hoptak. I hope we get to do something like this again.
Our Boys Did Nobly is a first-rate exploration of the efforts on behalf of the Union cause by the men of Schuylkill County Pennsylvania. As always with John's writing, it is a compelling story meticulously researched, and a real asset to any good Civil War library.

John continues to be a"go-to guy" regarding Pennsylvania in the American Civil War (could use a few more maps though).
Keep an eye on John's blog for release details.
I gotta go clean my pens!
