I am honored to have been the featured author interviewed in the April 2009 issue of the Pittsburgh Writer’s Group magazine 'Spilt Ink.' I want to thank the PWG and I look forward to joining them at a future meeting back in my hometown. READ HERE

For the next two days I will be at the National Military Park Service Archives here in Fredericksburg gathering transcripts of primary source material for my "Campfires at the Crossroads: Confederate Encampments in Spotsylvania County" as part of The History Press’ American Chronicles Series. I also have a family coming into town this weekend for a private tour of several historic locations and I hope to film the 4th episode of The Naked Historian as soon as it stops raining here in Spotsylvania.

Stay tuned. I’ll be back to posting in a few days.
