Volume 8, Issue 6 of N&S Has Arrived
Volume 8, Issue 6 of North & South (finally!) arrived in the mail today. I hope to have a summary up within a few days. One of the articles I’m most interested in involves Pleasant Hill, which occurred during the Red River Campaign. Since all of the current campaign studies on this campaign are atrocious […]

Charge! Issues 1-2
Since I’ve only just now started subscribing to Charge!: The Official Newsletter of the Johnny Reb Gaming Society, I’ll be reviewing the first two years of the newsletter two issues at a time in a similar format to my reviews of North & South, Blue & Gray, America’s Civil War, and Civil War Times Illustrated.

The November 2005 issue is the first issue of America’s Civil War that I’ll be reviewing for this blog. ACW is of a little lower quality than North & South and Blue & Gray. It is virtually identical to Civil War Times Illustrated at this point, because both magazines are published by Primedia. There are […]

Blue & Gray has an “article and tour guide format”. That is, the magazine contains a main article on a battle or campaign, and later in the issue […]

B&G: Not THAT Falling Waters
I finally managed to open up the latest issue of Blue & Gray magazine, and I realized immediately that the Falling Waters being described was not the Falling Waters of the Gettysburg Campaign, but instead an engagement which occurred early in the war near the same place on July 2, 1861. I should’ve paid more […]
