The good folks at Savas Beatie, prolific publishers of our peculiar predilection, have been busy this year. Over the past couple of months, they’ve cranked out a number of new books, and I think I’ve received most of them. Due to time restraints, I’ve provided titles, authors, and links for info and ordering.
- Meade and Lee at Bristoe Station: The Problems of Command and Strategy after Gettysburg, from Brandy Station to the Buckland Races, August 1 to October 31, 1863, by James Wm. Hunt.
- Targeted Tracks: The Cumberland Valley Railroad in the Civil War, 1861-1865, by Scott L. Mingus, Sr., and Cooper H. Wingert.
- Gettysburg’s Peach Orchard: Longstreet Sickles, and the Bloody Fight for the “Commanding Ground” Along the Emmitsburg Road, by James A. Hessler and Britt C. Isenberg. [I’ll have an interview with the authors soon.]
- Union Command and Control Failure in the Shenandoah: Major General Franz Sigel and the War in the Valley of Virginia, May 1864, by David A. Powell. {Working on an interview with the author of this as well.]
- “Too Much for Human Endurance”: The George Spangler Farm Hospital and the Battle of Gettysburg, by Ronald D. Kirkwood.
- Confederate Soldiers in the American Civil War, by Mark Hughes.
