This book would not have been possible without the help, wisdom, and experience
of many people. I would like to thank Duncan Trussell from the National Civil War
Museum for his comments and ideas, especially for the battleield sections; Dr. James
McPherson of Princeton University for his precise review of the manuscript and cor-
rections and suggestions for improvement in several areas; Dr. James Weeks at
Civil
War Times
for his kind words of encouragement; Don Wickman of the Woodstock,
Vermont Historical Society for his comments and review; Michael K. Sorenson for
his generosity in allowing Nomad Press to use images from his private collection
of Civil War memorabilia; and Corin Hirsch, who designed a terriic cover. Special
thanks to everyone at Nomad Press for their hard work and commitment to making
Great Civil War Projects You Can Build Yourself
the best book it could be: Sarah, Jeff,
Susan, David, Rachel, Alex, Mark, Eric, and Lauri. And inally, to Byron Phillip An-
derson—thanks for everything, as always.
