It’s been a pretty busy couple of weeks. The final manuscript for the baseball book was sent off to The Kent State University Press today. (This will be my last book project for a few years.) I completed write-ups for two of Mort Kunstler’s new paintings, my book on Confederate camps has been selected as the upcoming March title on the Rappahannock Regional Library’s new Sesquicentennial website, National Geographic Books contacted Right Stripe Media to assist with some imagery for a piece they are doing on Richard Kirkland, and BIG things are on the horizon for the Billy The Kid documentary. (Don't forget to order your DVD of The Angel of Marye's Heights.)

I am still dealing with some serious health issues and will be off the grid for a while. I may post some updates intermittently as my body will permit, but for the most part I need to concentrate on getting well. This has been a recurring issue for the last 3 months and I'm not getting better. One thing that I did want to mention in closing was that the U.S. Marshals Service are commemorating the actions of the USCT for Black History Month (see here). I was very pleased to see no mention of “Thousands of Black Confederates” on any of the acknowledgements.
