After a great deal of time, trouble and tribulation, i am once again back to the blogosphere. A number of work and family issues seriously affected my ability to post the last couple of months, but that should all be behind me now, and I’m looking forward to a bit of writing therapy here on the blog.

Fortunately work has continued on the 6th Cav manuscript during my absence, so we hope to have it before a publisher very soon. I still need to finish the Fairfield Dead series, and was inspired to compile a biographical sketch of the 4th Cavalry’s Wirt Davis by a recent magazine article/ book excerpt to be discussed in the near future. A review of Eric Wittenberg’s book on Brandy Station (see interview here)and David Powell’s Failure in the Saddle will also be appearing before long.

Something happened to the link for Mike Block’s Today at Brandy Station blog, but that has now been fixed.

It’s very good to be back, I’m looking forward to posting.

I’m back, with the joys and miseries of Washington state happily in my rearview mirror. Give me a day or two to sort through various accumulated honey-dos and how to get the ADC’s first pony ride off the phone and onto another digital medium, and I’ll be back to posting at the normal rate. Despite the lack of posts, Civil War cavalry research has been ongoing and progress continues to be made. More soon.
