I just wanted to post a reminder that I have an 8-page feature in the upcoming issue of Civil War Historian magazine titled “Battlefield Baseball: Birth of a National Pastime.” This in-depth study presents the myths of Doubleday, the truth of Spaulding, and noteworthy games that occurred during the conflict. I also included several photos and a chart. I’ve had other articles on Civil War era-baseball published before, but this is by far the most detailed and up-to date. I'm hoping to post a secure PDF of the piece after the next issue is made available. 

Other great articles in Volume 3; Number 5, September/October 2007 include: ‘The 4th North Carolina Infantry at the Battle of Seven Pines,’ ‘How to build a split-rail fence,’ and ‘Fort Monroe.’ Grab one of your local newsstand or visit CWH’s website to order your copy today. Order online here.

Civil War Historian magazine was founded to promote knowledge of Civil War-era life in America. Civil War Historian accomplishes its goal by producing a high-quality publication that supports those who reenact the lives of Americans who lived in this era. The nature of the publication is both informative and entertaining. Civil War Historian contains after-action reports of reenactments, reprints of period publications, and historical research articles, all of which are supported by exceptional color images and artistic page design. Civil War Historian’s guiding principle and belief are the need to protect, preserve, and share accurate information about this momentous period in our history.

Special thanks to Managing Editor Benjamin Smith for his nice write-up on me that is posted on the CWH website. His validation is very much appreciated. This is a first opportunity for me to 'break into' the magazine-scene, and I am very grateful for his interest in my work.
