God-willing, I'll be giving back to back talks about The Petersburg Regiment in the Civil War: A History of the 12th Virginia Infantry from John Brown's Hanging to Appomattox, 1859-1865 (Savas Beatie, 2019) on December 1 and 2, 2021. This book won the 2019 Army Historical Foundation Distinguished Writing Award for Unit History.
On December 1, I'll be addressing the Gen. Pender Civil War Round Table. I expect to appear at 6 p.m. that evening at North Carolina Wesleyan College in Rocky Mount, NC.
On December 2, I'll be at the Petersburg Civil War Round Table at 7 p.m. Their meeting will be at Pamplin Historical Park.
I encourage all students of the Civil War to write a unit history, particularly about a unit with a lot of diaries, letters and memoirs. Things did not always happen the way they're described in the Official Reports.
Mr. Horn I'm reading you book on the 12th Virginia and thoroughly enjoying it. My Great Grandfather was the the 12th as a 1st Sargent. I believe you mentioned him in your book. If possible I would like to correspond with you. As you can imagine I have many questions. Scott
