Rantings of a Civil War Historian
Description
How I got interested in the American Civil War
I first became interested in the exploits of the Federal horse soldiers when I made my first visit to the Gettysburg National Military Park as a third grader. I grew up in Reading, Pennsylvania, home to many of the original members of the Sixth Pennsylvania Cavalry. My favorite story from that trip was of Brig. General John Buford and the heroic First Cavalry Division. My interest in the Civil War grew, and was nurtured during my college years at Dickinson College located less than one hour from Gettysburg.
I am now an attorney in Central Ohio. Today, I work in the business development and litigation arenas. I have retained my interest in the late Conflict and continue to develop it. In 1991 I tried my hand at writing about the Civil War, and my career as a serious historian began. In the intervening years, I have written more than a fifteen articles that have appeared in national Civil War magazines, as well as a number of books.
My first book, titled Gettysburg’s Forgotten Cavalry Actions, was published in 1998. It was named the third winner of the Robert E. Lee Civil War Roundtable of Central New Jersey’s Bachelder-Coddington Literary Award as 1998’s best new work interpreting the Battle of Gettysburg. Since then, I have written nine more that are currently available, and number 11 is due this Fall.
