It doesn’t look like this mag made it past issue #1. But there are others out there: check out Civil War Times, America’s Civil War, Civil War Monitor, and Blue & Gray.

We bought Civil War Quarterly at our local downtown news-stand a few months ago. My eleven-year-old son is an intense history devotee of the period and is eagerly looking for the next edition of the magazine, seemingly to no avail. We’d like to see the magazine continue and have asked the business owner to contact the publishers.

Mr. Smeltzer,

Thank you so very much for the information on the first issue of Military Heritage Presents Civil War Quarterly, and what the possibility of future issues is according to the company.

I looked at the company’s website, and on the internet in general, and there was no mention of it, except for your helpful post. So again thanks!

Enjoy the Sesquicentennial.

Regards,
Brian

In fact Patterson was only a Major General of PA Militia. He was subject to the same term of enlistment as other militia, 90 days, and when that term expired at the end of July he was relieved of his command. Same for Daniel Tyler, whose BG of CT militia expired at the end of August.

Contrary to popular belief, Patterson only had 6 years of active military service under his belt before taking on command at Scott’s request: 1812-1816 and 1846-1847. That’s why Scott advised him to lean heavily on his subordinates with regular army experience, subordinates like George Thomas and Fitz-John Porter. Is it any wonder he moved tentatively in the Valley?

I have been reading more on Major General Robert Patterson, who was 70 years old at the time of Bull Run. He was actually senior to McDowell yet McDowell wrote the battle plan.

I think I agree with General William T. Sherman. Bull Run was the best written and the worst executed battle of the Civil War. All the generals stood around and argued about what to do and did not work together. That pretty much remained a theme throughout the Civil War.

Thanks for the heads-up. If I remember correctly, Roy Morris, Jr., was also at the helm of “America’s Civil War” 10-plus years ago…it’s a better magazine now than it was then, but that’s my opinion.

Thanks Harry for the heads up on the Civil war quarterly. I called the media dept. and was told that this journal is ONLY available at newsstands and not subscription at this time. I am going out hunting to check it out for myself. Thanks again. Paulette Atlanta GA
