Current Speaking Schedule: 2024-2025

I've had a great time over the last year talking to groups about my latest book - Gettysburg's Southern Front. The best part is meeting other people who share an interest in history - especially those who are putting in the work to bring programming to their local roundtables. I also had the pleasure of conducting a small tour east of Richmond with the "Stamp Guys" from the Columbus Civil War Roundtable.  We visited key locations covered in my book - Richmond Must Fall.  

Looking forward to more talks coming up.  Here is the current schedule:

Sept. 12, 2024 - Chattanooga CWRT

Oct 2, 2024 - CWRT of Wilmington, DE

Upcoming Talks

Things were busy this year. I had the opportunity to give about a dozen talks and several online interviews.  It was fun to visit many interesting places but even better to meet all the great people at these various events.  Many of the CWRT's I visited are thriving - it was really great to see.  

But there is more to come. If you are around for any these upcoming events, please drop by and say hi!

Interview with Chris Mackowski at Emerging Civil War

Thanks so much to Chris Mackowski from Emerging Civil War for chatting with me about Gettysburg's Southern Front.  As a special bonus, I learned during the interview that the book had received the 2023 Emerging Civil War Book Award.  Check out the podcast or the video interview.

Interview At Bull Runnings

 

Thanks so much to Harry Smeltzer for posting an interview with me about Gettysburg’s Southern Front on his Bull Runnings site.  We covered a lot of ground - my childhood, some of my favorite authors, my writing "process," the U.S. attack at Richmond during the Gettysburg Campaign, and a little about my next project.
